Akhilesh condemns ruckus in Bihar assembly

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has condemned the ruckus in the Bihar Legislative Assembly on Tuesday over the Special Armed Police Bill.

The MLAs were forcibly evicted by the police from the assembly hall.
Terming the entire episode as “violent” and “blasphemous”, Akhilesh Yadav tweeted on Wednesday, “Attack on MLAs by armed forces in Bihar Legislative Assembly is a criminal act. The attacks on unemployed youth on the street also show what the BJP governments understand after getting power. Blasphemous! There has been a violent attack on democracy in Bihar.”

Unprecedented chaos erupted inside the Bihar assembly on Tuesday when police were called inside to assist the marshals in evicting unruly opposition members who tried to physically prevent the speaker from taking his chair.
The ruckus saw police intervention as the RJD MLAs allegedly took the speaker hostage for over three hours. The police entered the assembly and forcibly took out the opposition legislators. One RJD MLA was injured in the process and was sent to a hospital.
