Rajasthan Assembly Chaos: MLAs Suspended After Gehlot's Controversial Remarks

The Rajasthan assembly faced disruption over remarks by Minister Avinash Gehlot against Indira Gandhi, leading to the suspension of six Congress MLAs. The assembly was adjourned multiple times as members protested, demanding an apology and suspension revocation. Suspended MLAs held a sit-in since Friday evening.

The Rajasthan legislative assembly was plunged into chaos on Monday following contentious remarks by the state's Social Justice and Empowerment Minister, Avinash Gehlot, against former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Six Congress MLAs were subsequently suspended due to the uproar.

Persistent protests from Congress members led to three separate adjournments of the House proceedings. Despite being asked to leave, the suspended MLAs, including PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasra, refused to vacate their seats, necessitating an intervention by the House marshals.

Protests erupted during the Question Hour when Gehlot referenced a budget scheme named after Gandhi. The tensions spilled over from Friday, with suspended members demanding an apology and revoking their suspension through a sit-in protest.
