Congress MLA Tara Prasad Bahinipati has been suspended from the Odisha Assembly for seven days over his indecent behaviour during House proceedings.
The Speaker of the Odisha Assembly, Surama Padhy, announced the suspension, stating that such behaviour would not be tolerated and that maintaining decorum in the House is paramount.
The suspension comes after Bahinipati climbed onto the Speaker’s podium and broke the microphone during a heated session on Monday.
The incident occurred amid a scuffle between members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress. Bahinipati’s actions led to multiple adjournments of the House proceedings as chaos ensued.
