BJP MLA Hiran Chatterjee raised concerns about the functioning of the West Bengal Public Service Commission. Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay switched off his microphone, prompting an outcry from BJP MLAs. The entire BJP contingent then staged a walkout in protest against what they called the \”biased\” actions of the Speaker. The session concluded with the BJP lawmakers walking out, leaving the Speaker to declare that the behaviour of the opposition party was unbecoming of a democratic institution. The Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemned the Speaker’s actions, accusing him of \”goondaism\” and charging the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) with stifling dissent. He claimed the marshals had acted under the influence of the TMC. The Speaker then ordered the expunging of Mr Chatterji’s comments, stating that they violated the legislative decorum. The TMC said that the BJP was trying to disrupt the legislative proceedings. The speaker then announced the suspension of MLA Dipak Barman for the remainder of the session.
