Bhubaneswar: A day after expressing his shock at the Centre’s statement that it had not received any resolution passed by Odisha Assembly on setting up Legislative Council, Speaker Sujya Narayan Patro on Saturday said the state government would write to the Centre again.

Speaking to the media persons, Patro said the government would write two letters to the Centre attaching the resolution passed by the Odisha Assembly on establishment of the Legislative Council in the state on September 18, 2018.

He said one letter will be sent to the Parliament from the state government and he will write another to the Union Law Minister in the capacity of the Assembly Speaker.

“We will attach the letter sent to the Central government in 2018 and urge the Law Minister to probe who furnished inaccurate information,” Patro said.

On Friday, the speaker had expressed his shock over the Centre’s statement that it had not received the resolution passed by Odisha Assembly for setting up the Legislative Council. The Assembly had passed a resolution on the matter on September 18, 2018 and sent it to the Centre, requesting to pass a resolution on the matter, he added.

On Thursday, Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju, in a written reply to BJD MP Prasanna Acharya in the Rajya Sabha, said as per record, no resolution had been received to create Legislative Council in Odisha.
