Another option before the Chairman, sources said, is creation of a special committee for scrutiny of the matter. A Rajya Sabha member was also expelled by the House, based on the recommendations of the same committee. He has also spoken to senior members of the Rajya Sabha secretariat. If anybody holds a different view on his handling of proceedings in the House, Naidu said, he will leave it to their wisdom. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge had written to Naidu Thursday, slamming what he called “the authoritarian attitude and undemocratic actions of the government”.
