Tensions escalated in the West Bengal assembly when BJP chief whip Shankar Ghosh was suspended for the day after causing a disturbance during a crucial discussion.
The incident unfolded as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee began addressing a resolution on alleged 'atrocities' against Bengali migrants. Ghosh, along with other BJP MLAs, started raising slogans, demanding an explanation for the suspension of Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari earlier this month.
Amidst the uproar, assembly marshals were called to remove Ghosh when he refused to exit voluntarily, leading to further slogan-shouting from both benches and repeated adjournments.
