Member of Parliament Pratibha Dhanorkar Alleges Protocol Violation, Demands Privileges Committee Inquiry Chandrapur: Member of Parliament Pratibha Dhanorkar has formally lodged a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker, accusing district officials of violating protocol and publicly humiliating her during a government event on Monday. The incident occurred at the official “Rajmata Rani Hirai Jayanti” programme in Chandrapur, where Dhanorkar alleged that administrative officers disregarded the prescribed order of precedence for elected representatives. While she was addressing the gathering, an MLA was abruptly brought onto the stage with elaborate fanfare, disrupting her speech and forcing her to halt proceedings. Dhanorkar described the disruption as a premeditated attempt to embarrass an elected official. She claimed that the district collector and municipal commissioner had acted under pressure from the ruling party, allowing political workers without official positions or invitations to gain prominence. According to her complaint, the event, which was funded by public resources, had effectively become a private gathering favoring a specific political faction. She emphasized that such conduct by administrative officers constitutes a direct affront to the democratic values upheld by Parliament. The MP has requested the Lok Sabha Speaker to refer the matter to the Privileges Committee, demanding a thorough inquiry and strict disciplinary action against officials found guilty of misusing their authority and breaching protocol. Dhanorkar’s allegations highlight tensions between elected representatives and administrative bodies, raising questions about the adherence to formal procedures in public events.#municipal_commissioner #pratibha_dhanorkar #district_collector #lok_sabha_speaker #rajmata_rani_hirai_jayanti
