Uproar In Punjab Assembly Over Sukhpal Khaira’s Suspension And Entry Dispute

The atmosphere within the Punjab Assembly complex grew highly charged on Tuesday, the final day of the special session. A confrontation erupted between Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress MLAs while they were speaking to the media, leading to a heated argument and a scuffle between leaders of the two parties. This incident within the Assembly complex caused political tensions to soar.

Congress MLAs have been opposing the decision to suspend Sukhpal Singh Khaira. Ever since Khaira was suspended from the House for seven days, the Congress party has been questioning the move. The issue remained a point of contention on Tuesday, the final day of the session. Congress MLAs raised slogans after being denied entry into the Assembly and registered their protest against Khaira’s suspension.

Bajwa Raises The Khaira Issue

Earlier, the Leader of the Opposition, Partap Singh Bajwa, raised the issue of Congress MLAs being barred from entering the Assembly with the Speaker. Bajwa expressed his objection, to which the Speaker responded that the proceedings of the House would be conducted in accordance with the rules. The opposition continued its protest over the denial of entry to Congress MLAs and the suspension of Khaira. While speaking to the media within the Assembly complex, AAP and Congress MLAs came face-to-face, leading to a heated exchange.

Political Atmosphere Intensifies Outside The House

As Congress MLAs sought to highlight various issues to the media to corner the government, leaders from the Aam Aadmi Party also stepped forward to present the government’s stance. Leaders from both sides were addressing the media while holding placards. During this, the argument between the two groups escalated, and the situation turned tense to the point where a scuffle broke out between the two sides in the presence of the media.
