Kamataka's legislators came together across party lines today to reject a motion seeking that they reconsider the punishment of a year each in jail handed by the state assembly to two editors of Kannada tabloids for breach of privilege. The assembly had sentenced the editors to the jail term and had fined them Rs. 10,000 each in June this year, over what it called their defamatory articles against state legislators.The assembly rejected the resolution to reconsider the punishment and fine on Ravi Belagere, Editor of 'Hi Bangalore', and Anil Raju, Editor of 'Yelahanka Voice,' by a voice vote.

Mr Pattan said the petition should not even have been brought to the House.However, the BJP's Suresh Kumar sounded a word of caution. "There are some opinions.
