Law & Order: But Disorder In Odisha House Over Opposition Demand

Bhubaneswar: The morning session of the Odisha Assembly was adjourned on Monday following uproar by BJP members.

Unable to run the proceedings, the Speaker adjourned the House till 11.30 am.

The uproarious scene continued to prevail during the Zero Hour after the Congress members raised the law and order issue and demanded a clarification from the Chief Minister. As the Speaker in his ruling directed the minister of state for Home to furnish a reply, the irate Congress members rushed to the well of the House and protested near the Speaker’s podium while demanding a clarification from the Chief Minister.

As the commotion continued to prevail, the Speaker adjourned the house till 3 pm.
