Will work to highlight injustice meted out to Roja, says Jagan Mohan Reddy

Hyderabad: Speaking to the media outside Raj Bhavan, YSRC chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “When the court has permitted Roja to attend Assembly, the Speaker, who has been conducting hi-mself out and out like a TD leader, and the CM, displayed their arrogance by rejecting the judiciary and calling themse-lves supreme, which is undemocratic, and their decision of not honoring the court verdict will be challenged and a contempt of court petition will be filed on Monday.”

Coming down heavily on the Assembly chief marshal, Mr Reddy said his behavior was unruly and his conduct questionable. “The CM and Speaker are trying to impress that they are be-yond the courts. This only shows their arrogance and their defiance of judiciary. It will be taken up in the right forum and an agitation path will be worked out to highlight the injustice me-ted out to Roja,” he said.

Ms Roja said, “People who do not respect the Constitution do not resp-ect courts as the provis-ions of the law are made in Parliament itself.”

Meanwhile, Ms Narmada, counsel appearing for Ms Roja on Friday informed Justice A. Ramalingeswara Rao that her client was not allowed to enter into Assembly premises on Friday morning despite the court order. The judge told her to make a mention on Monday.
