Patna, February 10 Marshals removed opposition members from the Bihar legislative council on Tuesday, following repeated warnings from the Chairman that they should return to their seats amid a commotion.
Chairman Awadhesh Narain Singh also suspended the opposition MLCs, most of whom belong to the RJD, for the day.
The trouble arose after the opposition members stood up in their seats, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the "rising" cases of crimes against women in the state.
Amid the chaos, Minister Ashok Choudhary, who belongs to the JD(U) led by the chief minister, was seen engaging in a heated exchange with RJD MLC Sunil Singh.
Shortly afterwards, the opposition MLCs stormed into the well, prompting BJP Minister Mangal Pandey to remark, "their behaviour makes it clear that they do not want to allow the House to function".
The Chairman urged the unruly opposition members to "take your seat, let the House function, or leave, at least for the day".
As the opposition members continued to shout slogans and wave their hands at the Chairman and the treasury benches, Awadhesh Narain Singh said, "let the marshals come and remove them all. They are also hereby suspended for the day".
The suspended MLCs include Rabri Devi (Leader of the Opposition), Sunil Singh (RJD), Ajay Kumar Singh (RJD), and Shashi Yadav (CPI-ML Liberation).
