Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh:
Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik has written a letter to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in connection with the use of alleged unparliamentary remarks by senior minister Azam Khan against him.
"I have written a letter to the chief minister with reference to the unparliamentary comments of the parliamentary affairs minister Azam Khan...Akhilesh Yadav is presently on foreign trip. I will talk to him once he comes back," Mr Naik told reporters.
In a CD handed over by the Assembly Speaker in connection with the matter, out of the 60 sentences of Mr Khan, 20 have "unparliamentary comments", although the Speaker says there is nothing undignified in it, the Governor said, adding a meeting with the Speaker has been fixed for April 9.
Mr Khan has been engaged in a no-holds-barred war of words with Mr Naik for quite some time, with the minister accusing the Governor of being a "kar sevak" and "communally vitiating" the atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh at the "behest" of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.
In a stinging remark in the Assembly, Mr Khan had accused the Governor of stalling several Bills by not giving his assent and alleged it was giving an impression he was working under the "influence of a party".
