Seeking leave for the adjournment motion, Rema raised the issue of women's safety, citing different incidents. She said in the assembly that incidents of violence against women and children are on the rise in the state.
After Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania allowed the discussion on the issue on Friday, the dissatisfied opposition staged a walkout from the House on the second day of the Budget session.
Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier announced the introduction of the Assam Polygamy Ban Bill during the current assembly session, further contributing to the already charged political environment.
Soon after the House met for the day, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said that the debate on Manipur violence under Rule 176 will not be restricted to 2.5 hours.
During this deadlock, an Independent MLA and Advisor to CM Sanyam Lodha raised an issue of recruitment of youth which the Speaker Dr C P Joshi strongly objected to.
Clarifying Randhawa's statement, Education Minister BD Kalla said, "He (Randhawa) had called for defeating Modiji to save the country. He didn't talk about eliminating Modiji.”
Meanwhile, in the Lok Sabha today BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP Chirag Paswan raised the issue of the Bihar hooch tragedy.
The Leader of Opposition Mukesh Agnihtori along with Congress members started raising slogans that the Governor's address was a mere bundle of lies as it didn't address various issues and then staged walkout from the house.
The walkout followed repeated denial from the Chair to revoke the suspension of MPs as demanded by the Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge.
