Six rebel Congress MLAs in Himachal Pradesh, disqualified for cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha polls, have approached the Supreme Court challenging the Assembly Speaker's decision. They contest the Speaker's ruling as 'illegal and unconstitutional.' Previously challenging their disqualification in the state High Court, the MLAs assert Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania's order violates constitutional rights. Meanwhile, seven BJP MLAs face notices for alleged misconduct in the Assembly. The Speaker refers the matter to the Privileges Committee. The rebel MLAs' move intensifies the political crisis in Himachal Pradesh, as legal battles over their disqualification unfold amidst mounting tensions.
