The primary thought behind the choice is to present due recognition to them, says Speaker
Legislators in the BJP-ruled Haryana can now use ‘flag’ on their official, personal and even employed vehicles — a call taken in order that they can get “due recognition”.
Speaker Gian Chand Gupta on Tuesday stated the sitting MLAs authorised by the Vidhan Sabha shall use the flag on his or her car, which is registered in his or her identify.
“In case, the sitting MLA does not have any vehicle registered in his or her name, then the flag can be used on the private or hired vehicles,” he stated.
Mr. Gupta informed The Hindu that the choice was taken in order that the MLAs can get “due recognition” in public. “The basic idea behind the decision is to give due recognition to MLAs. They had to face humiliation at toll plazas. On many occasions, there had been instances when they were asked to prove their identity. So, now alongwith the flag, we have decided to give authorisation letters to MLAs. It’s a recognition of an elected representative,” he stated.
“As per protocol, MLA is equal or above the rank of Chief Secretary. When bureaucrats are using flags, then there’s no reason why MLAs can’t use it. It’s not promoting VIP culture,” he stated, including that the MLA is an elected consultant and the flag, which we’re giving, simply mentions Haryana Vidhan Sabha MLA and nothing else.
Mr. Gupta stated in case the car just isn’t carrying a sitting MLA, then the flag shall stay coated by a white cowl. “The MLAs have to apply for the flag to the Haryana Vidhan Sabha and the authorisation for the use of flag by sitting MLA will be issued by the transport commissioner in a prescribed form.”
The authorisation will stay legitimate until the completion of the tenure of the Vidhan Sabha or until the MLAs have the membership of the Assembly.
