Displaying placards and photographs of Williams with words like 'Abhinandan Sunita Williams' and 'Bharater Kanya' (India's Daughter), the legislators gathered to celebrate her achievements near the Assembly's entrance.

Shankar Ghosh, the party's chief whip, led the group and requested Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee to issue a unanimous resolution congratulating Williams. The Speaker indicated any such resolution would proceed upon Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's presence, while the Chief Minister has already shared her commendations online.
