Kalaburagi, Jan 6: Law and parliamentary affairs minister, J C Madhuswamy, stated that the investigation ordered by the chairman of the legislative council covers only the dereliction of duty of the officials and there is no order to probe the behaviour of the council members.

"No one ever expected such a commotion to happen at the council. 14 days had elapsed after the no confidence motion against the chairman was moved. Therefore it was believed that he would voluntarily leave the position. Even after the bell was rung, the chairman did not come. Therefore, the deputy chairman occupied the chair. After that all hell broke lose all of a sudden," he explained.
