On the last day of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly monsoon session, Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani was evicted from the assembly today.

The commotion began when Jignesh Mevani demanded a debate and live telecast on issues including the Rajkot TRP fire incident, the Morbi tragedy, the Harni boat incident, the Takshashila fire tragedy, and the case of a rape victim from Jasdan.

Mevani entered the well of the House, prompting the Speaker to ask him to stop disrespecting the Constitution and to follow the law, eventually asking him to leave the House.

While speaking to the media,  Mevani stated, “I had submitted a request against Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, to hand over the cases to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or non-corrupt officials, and move it to a fast-track court.”

Moreover, he demanded compensation of ₹1 crore for the victims of tragedies in Gujarat.

These demands were made on behalf of the victims of Morbi, Takshashila, and Harni boat incidents. Regarding the Jasdan rape case, Mevani pointed out that a woman BJP leader had made multiple statements to the media, claiming that she had information about six other girls in Rajkot district’s Jasdan who were also victims of rape.

“Due to the collusion between corrupt BJP leaders and their favoured officials, more than 240 people have lost their lives in incidents such as Shrey Hospital in Ahmedabad, a hospital in Bharuch, Rajkot TRP Game Zone, Morbi incident, Harni incident, and the Takshashila fire incident,” Mevani alleged.
