The Haryana legislative assembly opened its new session amid protests, and the speaker suspended eight Congress legislators for disruptive behaviour.
The Haryana Legislative Assembly convened its latest session on Monday, but the opening was marked by a heated uproar inside the chamber. Lawmakers from the ruling party and opposition clashed over procedural issues, leading to a chaotic atmosphere.
During the proceedings, the speaker invoked the assembly's rules to suspend eight members of the Indian National Congress, citing repeated violations of decorum and obstruction of the house's business. The suspended legislators were barred from participating in debates and voting for the remainder of the session.
Party leaders on both sides condemned the incident, with the Congress demanding a review of the suspensions, while the ruling party defended the speaker's decision as necessary to maintain order. The assembly is expected to continue its agenda on state development and budget matters in the coming weeks.
