The second day of Budget Session in the Assam Legislative Assembly witnessed intense exchanges as the Congress Legislature Party pushed for an adjournment motion under Rule 56 of thee Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Busniess.
The opposition sought a discussion on the accident that occured nearly 40 days ago in an illegal coal mine in Dima Hasao District.
Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia questioned, “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.”
Meanwhile, the ruling coalition also 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, prompting a brief 10-minute adjournment of the session.
