The identity of the AK Party deputy who cast a fake vote, despite being present in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, has been revealed. It has been determined that the person who was reacted to by the Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, Celal Adan, with the words "Whoever sent this paper, even though it was not there, is immoral; whoever brought it is immoral," is Turan Bedirhanoğlu.
While the regulation to increase the lowest pension was being discussed, a roll call debate erupted in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). CHP and İYİ Party deputies walked to the podium after a roll call slip was given in the name of an AK Party deputy who was not present in the General Assembly hall. In response, Celal Adan had announced a 10-minute break in the General Assembly.
CELAL ADAN HAD GONE CRAZY
After the break, TBMM Deputy Speaker Celal Adan stated, "Today, a serious disrespect has been shown here under my chairmanship, it has been a lack of manners. The person who sent this paper, although not present, is immoral; whoever brought it is immoral. I want to express that I am seriously offended. This disrespect does not suit the TBMM," he said.
