Guwahati: The second day of the Budget Session in the Assam Legislative Assembly was marked by a heated exchange between the ruling and opposition parties, with the Congress Legislature Party pushing for an Adjournment Motion under Rule 56 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business.
The opposition sought a discussion on an accident that occurred nearly 40 days ago in an illegal coal mine in Dima Hasao district. Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia raised the issue, questioning, “Why does the ruling party panic at the mere mention of coal? We wanted to discuss Umrangso, but we were not allowed. It is the ruling party that has violated discipline.”
In response, the ruling coalition moved an adjournment proposal referring to the Biplab Kumar Sharma Commission’s report on the APSC scam. However, Speaker Biswajit Daimary rejected all four proposals, which led to a brief 10-minute adjournment of the session.
