Will fight for justice, says Roja

YSRCP MLA  RK Roja has said that she has no objection in appearing before the Privileges Committee but affirmed that her fight against injustice would continue as every effort at character assassination is being made by the ruling party by distorting facts and concocting untruths .

"My suspension and TDP MLA Anita’s allegations against me are two different issues which are badly mixed up and confusion is being deliberately created. The issue before the Privileges Committee is about my alleged remarks on Anita and my suspension involves the issue of my utterances against the Chief Minister with regard to the Call Money Sex racket. While I am prepared to appear before the Privileges Committee, on suspension issue I continue to fight in the legal forum," she told a press conference here on Friday.
The suspension issue under rule 304 clause (2) does not permit the suspension of any member for one year and we have challenged that in the court on this ground. The Legislative Affairs Minister trying to cover up that the rule was wrongly quoted carries no ground as he has a long standing in the Assembly under various capacities, she said.

"During the debate on Call Money Sex Racket I have used the word Ca. Ma., an abbreviated form for Call Money, which is in vogue and was printed in many newspapers. When the media was agog with the abbreviated form of Ca. Ma., for Call Money how can I be held fault for using the word Ca. Ma. in course of sloganeering in the House,"she said.
"This makes the intentions of the Government very clear. They are after me and hell-bent on gagging my voice. I will not be deterred and I will fight the suspension issue in courts and other forums as the words I have used were in print in the media earlier,"she said.

The second issue pertains to my alleged remarks on TDP MLA Anita and her complaint to the Privileges Committee. While the incident happens on December 18th the members complains on December 22. Ïf my words were so offending could anyone wait so long to complain ?  This is the design of Chandrababu Naidu to make an issue out of it and the script was written later to implicate me in this false case," she said

"As far as my attending the Privilege Committee meeting is concerned, I have no issue. I have full faith in my sincerity and despite knowing well that the majority in the Privileges Committee would be TDP members, I will not shirk my responsibility,"she said.
