BJP’s Sankar Ghosh Faints While Being Marshalled Out Of Bengal Assembly

The ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slugged it out in the West Bengal assembly over a resolution related to the Bengali migrants. While the TMC alleged that the BJP is against the Bangla-speaking people, the saffron party accused the TMC of turning Bengal into Bangladesh. Amid a heated debate in the assembly, the Bengal BJP chief whip and party MLA Shankar Ghosh was suspended by Speaker Biman Banerjee for the rest of the day for creating disorder and was thrown out of the assembly.

Chaos erupted in the West Bengal Assembly as five Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs were suspended amid protests and sloganeering on Thursday. BJP Chief Whip Shankar Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, Mihir Goswami, Ashok Dinda, and Bankim Ghosh were suspended for creating a ruckus in the House during CM Mamata Benerjee's speech on alleged harassement of Bengali speaking migrants.

The Trinamool Congress moved a motion under rule 169 condemning the alleged incidents against the Bengali-speaking people across the country. While Mamata Banerjee was speaking, she faced a lot of protest from the opposition, due to which BJP leaders Suvendu Adhikari and Agnimitra Paul were suspended.
