Protesting Jharkhand BJP MLAs evicted by marshals spend night in Assembly lobby
PTI, Aug 1, 2024, 11:12 AM IST
Several BJP MLAs of Jharkhand spent the night in the assembly lobby after marshals evicted them from the well of the House where they were protesting against Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s “refusal” to reply to their questions on key issues including employment.
The legislators slept on bed covers and blankets on the floor of the lobby near the entrance of the assembly building.
The House is scheduled to reconvene at 11 am on Thursday.
The opposition BJP and AJSU Party MLAs were evicted by marshals from the House to the lobby late last night after they refused to budge from the Well even after the House was adjourned around 3 pm.
They alleged that despite being in a sit-in in the well, the lights and air-conditioners were turned off.
“We were dragged out by the marshals from the well to the lobby and then near stairs at the entrance of the Assembly though our protest was peaceful,” a BJP legislator claimed.
