Guwahati, February 3 : An Assam legislator on Friday was invited criticism after he broadcasted live his speech on Facebook during the ongoing budget session of Assam assembly.
Aminul Islam, an MLA of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) representing the Dhing assembly constituency of central Assam's Nagaoan district, broadcasting live his speech on Facebook by using his mobile phone in the assembly.
The Assam legislator's 'live from the assembly' act was reminiscent of Aam Aadmi Party MP Bhagwant Mann, who had videotaped the Parliament premises and its internal security positions in July last.
Following the Assam legislator's act, the BJP and opposition party Congress had criticized over the serious matter.
The AIUDF MLA Islam said that, there is nothing in the rule book that says anything about using social media in the assembly.
'I uploaded live my speech on Facebook only for benefit the people who needed to know about which critical issues discussed in the assembly. So I am not wrong about it,' Islam said.
Meanwhile, the Assam Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said that, mobile phone is not allow and to use in the assembly and every legislator know it better.
On the other hand, the opposition leader and Congress MLA Debabrata Saikia said that, the legislator's act is against the rule of the assembly.
Assam assembly speaker Hitendranath Goswami said that, he asked the legislators to file complain against Islam's act and it would be studied for necessary action.
