Pandemonium prevailed in the Haryana Assembly on the concluding day of the monsoon session today when the House took up Calling Attention Notice to discuss law and order issue.
There were verbal spats between ruling BJP and Opposition Congress and INLD members during the discussion.
At the beginning, Leader of Opposition and INLD member Abhay Singh Chautala told the Speaker that one hour alloted to discuss the issue was not sufficient.
Later, the Speaker allowed more time and the issue was discussed for more than four hours.
The February Jat stir violence, that claimed 30 lives and properties worth crores of rupees, dominated the discussion.
Congress tried to put ruling BJP on the backfoot with its senior leader Raghubir Singh Kadian referring to the Prakash Singh commitee report on the Jat stir.
He said the government was not inclined for second report on the Jat stir.
Kadian sought to know if there was any pressure on the government which forced it to back down from asking Singh for a second report.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar told the Assembly Prakash Singh wanted to give second report on police reforms and modernisation etc which is already available in the shape of books and suggestions given by him (Singh) earlier.
"He may have tried to force us for taking his services, but it is up to the government to see," Khattar said.
Turning towards Kadian, Khattar then added, "now to say that there is any kind of pressure on the government will not be a correct thing to say".
He said after the Prakash Singh Committee report the government had acted and taken action and was still in the process of taking action.
He took a veiled dig at the INLD saying there was an impression that 'Green Brigade' were infamous for notorious things, prompting a strong reaction from Abhay Chautala.
The Chief Minister claimed mining mafia flourished between the year 1991-96 during Congress regime in the state. Similarly, liquor mafia thrived between 1996 and 1999 during the regime of Haryana Vikas Party, he said.
He said recruitment scams were reported during INLD government from 1999 to 2005, and land and Change of Land Use mafia allegedly flourished during 10 years rule of the Congress from 2005 to 2014 which are being investigated by the CBI and Commission.
"We will not spare anyone who has done any wrong," Khattar said.
