The political tussle in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly reached a crescendo on Wednesday with 10 members of the Opposition BJP being suspended for “indiscipline and unruly behaviour” as they tore copies of a Bill and hurled them at Deputy Speaker Rudrappa Lamani while he was in the Speaker’s chair.
The members indulged in the act while they were protesting in the Well of the House against appointing IAS officers as liaison officers for the leaders who had attended the national Opposition leaders’ meeting in Bengaluru on Monday and Tuesday.
Mr. Lamani named the 10 BJP members who indulged in “indiscipline and the episode of disrespecting the Speaker’s chair” and then the Assembly adopted a resolution on suspending them from the House for the remaining two days of proceedings.
