[In protest, oaths taken in English, Hindi][[Media:http://aapki-duniya.blogspot.com/]]

The issue of language took centrestage in the Assembly on Monday as several members took their oaths in languages ranging from Hindi and Sanskrit to Marathi and even dialects of Marathi.

Many new MLAs took their oaths in Hindi in protest at what happened to the Samajwadi Party leader, Mr Abu Asim Azmi, and one Congress MLA even read out his oath in English.

Incidentally, although two BJP MLAs have nothing to do with the protest against languages other than Hindi, convinced the pro-tem speaker of the House to allow them to take their oaths in Sanskrit. Mr Azmi who came as the 64th person to take the oath of the house uttered just "Main (me)" when the MNS golden man, Mr Ramesh Wanjal, pulled the podium away with the microphone in tow and a host of MLAs rushed onto the stage.

A few Third Front MLAs including Ms Minakshi Patil of the Peasants and Workers Party, some Congress MLAs and minister Mr Nasim Khan came to help Mr Azmi who then took his oath in Hindi, from the Speaker's microphones. However, despite the drama that took place after Mr Azmi's oath, the Congress MLA from Bandra, Mr Baba Siddiqui, took his oath in English in protest of the fact that there was so much ruckus over the issue.

Another MLA from Mumbai, Mr Amin Patel, in protest, took one in the national language. [[Media:http://aapki-duniya.blogspot.com/]]
