West Bengal Assembly Speaker bars circulation of House documents to BJP MLAs. Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemned the decision, calling it \”unprecedented\” and \”authoritarian\” Tensions flared when 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. The directive sparked strong protests from BJP lawmakers, who staged a walkout from the House. Even after leaving, they continued demonstrating within the Assembly premises, shouting slogans against the ruling dispensation. The Speaker noted that similar instances in the past had prompted this decision, aimed at preventing further disruptions. He added that the issue had already been deliberated upon in the House and did not warrant further discussion. The uproar intensified as some BJP legislators descended into the well of the House, shouting slogan. In a dramatic show of dissent, a few BJP MLas tore apart assembly papers and documents circulated to them during the session. In response to this, the Speaker announced that henceforth, BJP ML as would not be provided with any official documents or papers during the sessions.
