Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on March 24 after Congress members demanded suspension of those members from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena, who hit a poster of Rahul Gandhi with footwear a day ago over his remarks against Hindutva ideologue V. D. Savarkar. The House was adjourned three times as pandemonium prevailed due to sloganeering by Congress legislators and the treasury benches.
