NEW DELHI: The deputy chairperson of the Karnataka legislative council on Monday was dragged and removed from his chair by Congress Members of Legislative Council (MLCs) resulting in sine dine adjournment of the session.
Congress MLCs heckled and pushed deputy chairman SL Dharme Gowda, who is a JD(S) MLC from his seat.
Congress MLCs said that the BJP and the JD(S) made the chairman sit in the chair illegally when House was not in order.

"Unfortunate that the BJP is doing such unconstitutional things. Congress asked him to get down from the Chair. We had to evict him as it was an illegal sitting," said Congress Karnataka MLC Prakash Rathod.
