"Going by the frivolous privilege notices, I think the provision needs to be scrapped," the Speaker said.
The remarks came after he disposed of privilege notices submitted by MLAs.
"It seems few understand the sanctity of the privileges (enjoyed by the legislators). Now a days, there is a privilege notice on any issue," he said. Almost eighty per cent of the privilege notices given by members don't fulfil the criteria, he added.
The Speaker said he would soon convene a meeting of party group leaders on the issue.
"The power of privilege granted to the legislature is a far-reaching power. If it is not exercised wisely and infrequently, you will dilute it," Khambata had said.
