BJP legislators staged a walkout, protesting against Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay’s decision to withhold circulation of Assembly-related documents to them during the session. Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemned the Speaker’s decision, calling it \”unprecedented and unconstitutional\” The Opposition vowed to escalate BJP’s protests inside the House, saying they would bring their own bundles of paper daily and tear them apart in protest. The BJP’s protest adds to the ongoing political tensions between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition in West Bengal. The Speaker refused to admit an adjournment motion tabled by BJP members to discuss recent incidents of communal clashes in certain parts of the state. He said the issue had already been deliberated upon in the House and did not warrant further discussion. This rejection triggered a strong reaction from BJP MLAs, who protested inside the Assembly. Some BJP legislators descended into the well of the Assembly, shouting slogans against the ruling dispensation. In a dramatic show of dissent, a few tore apart assembly papers and documents circulated to them by the Speaker.
