In a significant development in West Bengal’s ongoing assembly session, four Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs — Deepak Barman, Shankar Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, and Manoj Oraon — have been suspended from the House. Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee announced the suspension order, citing unruly behaviour during proceedings.

The action was taken after the BJP legislators staged protests and raised slogans in the House while a discussion was underway on expunging certain earlier remarks from the assembly records. Their disruptive conduct led the Speaker to take strict disciplinary measures.

According to news agency ANI's tweet on X, "West Bengal BJP MLAs Dipak Burman, Shankar Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul and Manoj Oraon suspended from the House by Speaker Biman Banerjee for this session. During an ongoing discussion in the House on expunging a few remarks made earlier, the MLAs had protested and raised slogans."
