Rajasthan MLA Suspended After Tumultuous Assembly Session

Congress MLA Mukesh Bhakar has been suspended from the Rajasthan Assembly for six months after he refused to leave the House and continued protesting despite an initial suspension. Speaker Vasudev Devnani extended the suspension amidst uproar and adjourned the House sine die, leading to overnight protests by Congress legislators.

Congress MLA Mukesh Bhakar has been suspended from the Rajasthan Assembly for six months. This decision followed Bhakar's refusal to leave the House and his continued protests, even after an initial suspension for indecent behaviour during the session.

Speaker Vasudev Devnani extended Bhakar's suspension and subsequently adjourned the House sine die amid chaos and overnight dharnas by Congress legislators. Bhakar's initial suspension was only for the current session, but the prolonged disruption led to stricter action.

The House saw significant turmoil as Congress MLAs raised slogans and prevented marshals from evicting Bhakar. The Speaker's decision came after MLA Ramila Khadiya fell ill during the protests, prompting a temporary adjournment. The situation further deteriorated when accusations arose that Bhakar had physically assaulted security staff during the fracas.
