CHANDIGARH: Twenty-nine legislators of the main opposition Indian National Lok Dal  and one from the Shiromani Akali Dal were on Tuesday suspended from the Haryana  assembly following a ruckus they created demanding resignation of  Minister of State for Home, Mr Gopal Kanda.

The Speaker, Mr Harmohinder Singh Chatha suspended the legislators, including INLD’s leader of opposition and former chief minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, after they demanded the minister’s resignation for suspected links to a car used for a crime in Delhi.
Tuesday was the last day of the monsoon session of the assembly.
The INLD has a strength of 31 legislators in the House but two members were not present in the assembly on Tuesday.
The INLD legislators led a vociferous protest inside the House just after question hour, seeking Mr Kanda’s resignation from the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government after his (Mr Kanda’s) name figured as the owner of a car in which a young woman was gang-raped in Delhi recently.
With the opposition and treasury benches getting involved in heated exchanges over the issue, the Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes.
When the House re-assembled, the ruckus continued with the INLD seeking Mr Kanda’s immediate resignation. Mr Chatha adjourned the House again for another 30 minutes.
However, the pandemonium continued even after that and the Speaker suspended the legislators from the House.
Mr Kanda had on Monday denied that he owned the car in which the gang-rape took place in Gurgaon and Delhi. The car, used in the crime, was in possession of a close relative of Mr Kanda.
The Chief Minister, Mr Hooda said on Monday that the matter was being probed. He said the issue involving Mr Kanda was being investigated and whosoever was found guilty would not be spared.
He said that Mr Kanda had already clarified on the floor of the House that the car used in the gang-rape was not his personal car.
Earlier, Mr Kanda had said in the House that the car was never used by him till date.
“I use car bearing number HR 02 H 0007. That car used in the crime does not belong to me,” Mr Kanda said.
Later, a privilege motion was brought in the assembly by a Congress legislator against Mr Chautala for making false accusations  against Mr Kanda.
Mr Chautala reiterated his demand for Mr Kanda’s resignation from the Hooda government, saying that if crimes like gang-rape could take place in the car belonging to Haryana’s Minister of State for Home, no woman in the state could feel safe
