During the proceedings of the House on the second day of the Vidhansabha budget session, the Speaker took a harsh decision and suspended all the Congress MLAs from the proceedings of the House for the day. This is for the first time that Congress MLAs have been suspended from the proceedings of the House for a day.
The proceedings of the Vidhansabha House were later adjourned till 3 pm. The issue of breach of privilege was brought up by an MLA from Jaspur, Adesh Chauhan, which was being discussed in the House when the Congress MLAs cornered the government and created a ruckus in the well of the House.
Pertinently, the Pushkar Dhami led BJP government received flak over the sacking of employees from the Uttarakhand Assembly and the Haridwar Har Ki Pauri corridor, being built in Haridwar. Former BJP MP Subramanian Swamy objected to the Dhami government's move saying that the state government and the Speaker of the Assembly have acted contrary to the rules.
