Congress MLA Karan Singh Dalal, who was suspended from Haryana Assembly for a year for alleged misconduct, has lodged a police complaint accusing INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala of threatening him in the House.
While police said it will examine the complaint, Chautala on Wednesday claimed that Dalal was in the habit of lodging such complaints and he had done so in the past as well.
Dalal was suspended from Haryana Assembly on Tuesday for a year after the legislator and Leader of Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala hurled abuses and charged at each other with a shoe in their hand, prompting the Speaker to summon marshals.
In the complaint lodged at Sector 3 police station here on Tuesday, Dalal said, "Abhay Singh Chautala proposed my suspension from the House upon which heated exchanges took place between me and Abhay in the House and as a result of which he lost his mental balance and started abusing and threatening me."
"When I told him to behave, he threatened me saying that he will see me outside the House and get me eliminated. The House was adjourned and later Abhay Singh Chautala again threatened me saying that he will get me and my family eliminated."
Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda described Dalal's suspension for one year as unfortunate and said the events that unfolded in the Assembly on Tuesday would make it "a dark day in the history of the Vidhan Sabha."
"We want to know under what rules was our MLA suspended for one year, there is no such rule," he said, adding, "We have always been maintaining that INLD is BJP's 'B' team. The INLD has failed to discharge its role as the main opposition party."
