The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on Thursday tried to raise the Maharashtra-Karnataka border row in Rajya Sabha but was not allowed by the Chair.
When the House met for the day, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said he has received notices under rule 267 but was disallowing them as they were not in order and did not specify the rule.
Notices under rule 267 seek suspension of the business of the day to take up a discussion on the issue being raised.
Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), who had given the notice under rule 267, said the border issue between Karnataka and Maharashtra is an important issue and needs to be discussed at the national level.
Dhankhar, however, disallowed it, saying the requirements of invoking rule 267 were not met.
"Now if the Hon'ble member seeks to make an issue which is tangential, it will be inappropriate," he said, adding the member could speak in respect of rigours of compliance of the rule.
"Come out with a formalised request, it will receive consideration and there will be a structured discussion," the Chairman said.
The border row escalated into violence after vehicles from both states were attacked and damaged in Belagavi and Pune.
