Mishra questioned how the CBI entered the Assembly premises. He asked whether the Speaker had given permission to the Central agency to enter the Assembly premises since CBI cannot enter Assembly premises without the former’s permission.

If not then, how without Speaker permission the agency had entered the premises, Mishra asked. It’s an insult to the dignity of the House, he added.

Mishra said on inquiry at the personal level with the security officer of the House he has come to know that a CBI official had visited the Assembly yesterday.

He demanded a clarification from the Speaker on this account.
