Chappell gets the stick from West Bengal MLAs
"Cutting across party lines, members of the West Bengal Assembly on Monday condemned Indian cricket coach Greg Chappell for his comment on MPs and demanded his immediate removal.......
Chakraborty, however, said Parliament should not engage itself with the issue as it had important business of national and international importance to deal with........
Trinamool Congress MLA Sovandeb Chattopadhyay said the Australian had no idea about the Indian constitution. "He has not only shown disrespect to the MPs, but also to the people of the entire country."
"He should be summoned to parliament for the outrageous comments and removed as coach," he said."
Protestors burn Chappell`s effigy
"The mps are people`s representatives. Insulting them is akin to insulting the Indian people," they said, carrying aloft posters condemning Chappell.
"Moreover, Chappell is an outsider, a foreigner. What right does he have to speak about the functioning of our parliamentary democracy," they asked.
