Assembly revokes uspension of MLAs

PANAJI, MARCH 20. The Goa Legislative Assembly today revoked the suspension of 11 Opposition members, including the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Luizinho Faleiro, and the Goa People's Congress Party (GPCP) chief, Mr. Francisco Sardinha, who were suspended for obstructing the functioning of the House yesterday.

The suspensions were revoked after a motion to that effect was moved by the Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Parrikar, when the Nationalist Congress Party chief, Dr. Wilfred Desouza, intervened on behalf of the suspended members. The motion was adopted by the House and the members then participated in House proceedings.

The eleven members --nine belonging to Congress and two from GPCP, were suspended for three days yesterday, for obstructing the functioning of the House after Mr.Parrikar moved a resolution naming them.
