Himachal's No-Pension Bill: Reform Or Muzzling Voices?
The Himachal assembly has passed a bill that says MLAs who defect and disqualified will not be entitled to any pension. While the Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government says the move is to discourage defections, the BJP has slammed the decision, calling it rushed and ill-thought. In this edition of Left, Right and Centre, we ask whether Mr Sukhu is doing a surgical strike on 6 Congress MLAs who recently defected to the BJP? Is this a reform or an attempt to muzzle dissenting voices? Watch former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur and Himachal minister Vikramaditya Singh's exclusive interview to discuss the development.
