The West Bengal Legislative Assembly on July 31 passed a ‘motion’ condemning the violence in Manipur and urged the Government of India to take steps to restore peace in the north-eastern State.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs who participated in the debate opposed the motion which was tabled by Trinamool Congress members including Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay. BJP legislators raised slogans and tried to disrupt the speech of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
