Mumbai: The
Maharashtra legislative assembly speaker Monday did not allow a
discussion on the visit by a Pakistan judicial commission to
Mumbai in connection with the investigations into the 26/11 terror
attack case.
Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil said that since the matter is 'sub-judice'
a discussion on it would not be permitted in the house.
He was responding to a demand by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena
group leader in the assembly, Bala Nandgaonkar who protested the
access granted to the commission to record the statements of four
key witnesses in the Mumbai terror attack of Nov 26-29, 2008.
"Pakistan denied permission to the Indian authorities to probe
eight persons who have been arrested in Pakistan in connection
with the Mumbai terror attacks. However, we have accorded a red
carpet welcome to the Pakistan judicial commission," Nandgaonkar
said, registering the party's protest.
He pointed out that the commission members did not bother to meet
the injured or the victims' families during their visit.
Last Saturday, MNS had demonstrated outside the Marine Plaza Hotel
in south Mumbai where the panel members were staying.
Nandgaonkar said the MNS wanted to submit a memorandum registering
their protest, but were not allowed to and instead detained by the
police.
