West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay on Thursday revoked his previous direction to the Assembly Secretary barring circulation of house proceedings-related documents to the BJP legislators. The second round of the Budget session of the Assembly started from March 10 and will continue till March 19. The house will not be in session on Friday on the occasion of the Holi or Dolyatra festival and also on Saturday and Sunday, because of the weekend. As per the fresh directive of the Speaker, the House documents will be circulated again from Monday. The House once again witnessed ruckus following protests by BJP legislators after their proposal for discussion on an allegedly objectionable comment made by the Trinamool Congress legislator Humayun Kabir, directed at the Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday was turned down by the speaker. The BJP legislators, led by the party’s chief whip Shankar Ghosh, staged a walkout and started protesting at the Assembly gate.
