PANJIM: A day after Speaker of Goa Assembly Rajendra Arlekar referred to Privilege Committee objecting to the statement made by Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, the Leader of Opposition Pratapsing Rane on Thursday urged the Speaker to pardon the legislator and withdraw the action.
Rane said that the statement of Reginalo was ‘misinterpreted’ by media and that his views were not to hurt the Speaker.
“I would request the Speaker to reconsider the harsh punishment given to the legislator. Sometimes the statements by the legislators are misinterpreted by the media,” Rane said requesting the Speaker to withdraw the matter placed before the House privilege committee.
