Chandigarh, March 5
Ten SAD MLAs were today suspended from the Vidhan Sabha for the remaining duration of the Budget session for “repeatedly disrupting the proceedings of the House”.
The MLAs led by their legislative party leader Sharanjit Singh Dhillon, disrupted the House proceedings on four occasions today, forcing Speaker Rana KP Singh to suspend them for the remaining session. The provocation for the suspension was the protest and walkout by the Akali MLAs when Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh named SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal and Harsimrat Kaur Badal for justifying farm laws when the Centre had initially brought the ordinances in this regard.
