The President of Bengal suspends BJP MLA, orders the evacuation of 2 others on the background of the chaos in the assembly


Kolkata:

The Western Bengal Assembly witnessed on Monday in Chaos, while the BJP Mlas opposition protested on the speaker’s decision to stop the microphone of one of their colleagues, which determined the president Biman Bandopadhyay to suspend BJP MLA Dipak Barman for the rest of the session and order the marchns to escape two legisers of the Saffron Party.

Subsequently, the BJP males organized a walk to protest against the “biased approach” of the speaker.

The evolutions began when BJP MLA Hiran Chatterjee, during the discussion on the budget, raised concerns about the operation of the Western Bengal (WBPSC).

He asked why the Commission did not receive a single public complaint in 2011, when the Trinamool Congress Government came to power in the state.

Mr. Chatterjee also claimed that the Commission does not have the legal authority to deal with complaints, citing a recent note of the chief secretary of the Chief Minister.

He asked about the relevance of the commission in such circumstances.

As the BJP legislator continued, the speaker Bandopadhyay reminded him that his comments are not related to the budget debate and asked him to stop.

Mr. Chatterjee, however, insisted on his right to speak on behalf of the people, which led to a heated exchange between the two.

The speaker reminded him of his authority and tried to restrict his speech, but while Mr. Chatterjee continued to speak, Bandopadhyay stopped his microphone, triggering a cry from the BJP mars.

The speaker then ordered the exposure of Mr. Chatterjee’s comments, saying they violated the legislative decoration.

In response, BJP Shankar Ghosh and Manoj Oonon began to shout slogans.

Despite the repeated warnings from the speaker, they continued the protest, which caused Marshall to be called out of the house.

As the disturbance continued, BJP’s marshes, led by chief Whip Shankar Ghosh, broke and threw papers in the house to protest.

In response, the speaker Bandopadhyay announced the suspension of MLA Dipak Barman for the rest of the session.

The entire contingent BJP then organized a walk to protest what they called the “biased” actions of the president.

Subsequently, the leader of the opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemned the actions of the speaker, accusing him of “Goondaism” and accusing the government of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) with a stifled dissident.

Adhikari claimed that the Marshal acted under the influence of TMC.

In contrast, the TMC legislators defended the speaker’s decision, stating that the BJP was trying to disturb the legislative procedures.

They claimed that the speaker’s actions were needed to maintain order and discipline in the house.

MP TMC Chandrima Bhattacharya, while answering later, criticized BJP for raising questions about the effectiveness of state welfare schemes like Kanyashree and allocating the budget, but left the house when the minister increased.

She accused BJP of trying to create unnecessary disturbances, rather than engaging in a constructive dialogue.

The session ended with the BJP parliamentarians, leaving the speaker to declare that the behavior of the opposition party was unusual of a democratic institution.
