Lawmakers clashed in the Punjab Legislative Assembly after the Congress party staged a walkout, prompting the suspension of MLA Khaira for the ongoing session.
During a recent session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, members of the Congress party abruptly left the chamber, disrupting the proceedings. The walkout was triggered by a disagreement over a pending motion, leading to raised voices and a brief scuffle among legislators. In response to the disorder, the Speaker invoked procedural rules and suspended Congress MLA Khaira for the remainder of the session. The suspension underscores the heightened tensions between the ruling party and the opposition in the state legislature. Observers noted that the incident reflects deepening political polarization ahead of upcoming elections.
