Bengal: 5 BJP MLAs, Including Suvendu, Suspended After Clash In Assembly Over Birbhum Violence

The BJP legislators demanded a statement by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the "worsening" law and order situation in the state in view of the Birbhum violence case.

"Opposition demanded discussion over law and order on the last day at least, the government declined. They brought Kolkata police personnel in civil dress to clash with 8-10 of our MLAs," LoP Suvendu Adhikari alleged, as reported by news agency ANI.

"The same situation of the Rampurhat incident created by Anarul Hussain was seen inside by TMC MLAs and their police. We'll march against this at 2 pm today. I'll write my complaint to the Speaker, demanding action as per the rules. We need the Centre's intervention," he added.

Around 25 BJP MLAs led by the Leader of Opposition staged a walkout as they claimed that several party legislators were roughed up by TMC MLAs inside the House.

Responding to the incident, TMC leader and state minister Firhad Hakim said that the BJP is staging a drama to create chaos in the assembly, PTI reported.

"Few of our MLAs were injured inside the House. We condemn the conduct of the BJP," he added.

Unidentified people had on March 21 set ablaze 10 houses in Bagtui village of Birbhum district near Rampurhat town, killing at least eight people, including women and children.

The Calcutta High Court has handed over the probe into the Birbhum killings to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and set a deadline of April 7 to submit its progress report.
