Bengaluru: A ‘constitutional crisis’ seems to be fast developing over the tabling of the Anwar Manippady report regarding encroachment of wakf properties across the state with Council Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy meeting the Governor to convey to him the government's reported reluctance to place the report before the House.
Mr Shankaramurthy and Deputy Chairman Maritibbegowda were closeted with Mr Vala and explained to him the government’s stance on the Manippady report. In the Council, proceedings were disrupted following a dharna by BJP and JD(S) members.
“As I am unable to resolve this issue, I will be meeting the governor to explain him the situation arising out of non-tabling of the report," he said and adjourned the House till 11 am on Tuesday. As soon as the House assembled, BJP members trooped into the well of the House in support of their demand.
