LAST UPDATE: Wednesday, 26 Mar 2008 - 1:06:25 AM
CHANDIGARH: Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal, who rebelled against the Congress party, was yesterday disqualified from the state assembly under the anti-defection law.
The order of Speaker Raghubir Singh Kadian came on a petition filed against Lal seeking that he be disqualified as an MLA since he had voluntarily given up the membership of the Congress on whose ticket he was elected and had formed a new party along with his son and MP Kuldip Bishnoi.
The petition was filed by Congress MLA Shadi Lal Batra on January 2 after Bishnoi announced floating of Haryana Janhit Congress (BL) at a rally in Rohtak on December 2. Lal was elected from Adampur.
