Ruckus by the opposition BJP over the allotment of a room for offering namaz in the assembly had disrupted proceedings on Monday as well.
Chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' and Hanuman Chalisa, BJP MLAs in saffron outfits trooped into the Well of the Jharkhand assembly on Tuesday in protest over the namaz room, disrupting House proceedings. As soon as the House assembled for the day, the BJP members began their protest over the namaz room and the state's employment policy even as Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto repeatedly urged them to allow the conduct of business. Unrelenting, the members continued to chant slogans during Question Hour, leading to an adjournment till 12.30 pm.More Related News
