West Bengal Legislative Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee on Thursday revoked the suspension of seven Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) MLAs, including that of Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari. The MLAs were suspended in two separate incidents in March.
Two BJP MLAs Agnimitra Paul and Sikha Chatterjee moved separate motions for the withdrawal of suspension against the seven MLAs. Ms. Paul moved a motion for withdrawal of the suspension against Mr. Adhikari and four other MLAs -- Manoj Tigga, Narhari Mahato, Mihir Goswami and Shankar Ghosh, who were suspended on March 28, when the legislators of the Opposition benches and Treasury benches came to blows. Ms. Chatterjee meanwhile moved another motion for withdrawal of suspension against MLAs Mihir Goswami and Sudip Mukhopadhyay, who were suspended on March 7 during Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar’s address to the House.
