The Hindu
BJP members said the situation had come to such a pass that they did not have any option, but to take such ‘revolting’ action.
Upset over reported denial of opportunity to present party’s point of views, BJP MLAs allegedly threw shoes and dustbins at Odisha Assembly Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro inside House on Saturday. The BJP legislative party took strong exceptions to rejection of their adjournment motion pertaining to massive irregularities in mining sector. “We all along have been cooperating with the Opposition parties. But, they wanted a discussion on a particular issue all of sudden which cannot be granted immediately. Shoes were hurled at Speaker by senior BJP members — Jai Narayan Mishra and Bishnu Charan Sethi,” Pramilla Mallick, Government Chief Whip, told reporters outside the House.More Related News
