Following a clash between TMC & BJP MLAs on the floor of the House over Birbhum violence, the Speaker suspended 5 BJP MLAs, including Suvendu Adhikari, from the Assembly, until further notice.
Speaking to reporters, LoP Suvendu Adhikari said, “Opposition demanded discussion over law & order on the last day at least but the state govt declined. They brought Kolkata police personnel in civil dress to clash with 8-10 of our MLAs.”
“The same situation of the Rampurhat incident created by Anarul Hussain was seen inside by TMC MLAs and their police. We’ll march against this at 2 PM today. I’ll write my complaint to the Speaker. We are demanding action as per the rules. We need the Centre’s intervention,” Adhikari added.
