DW BUREAU / Chandigarh Ten Akali Dal MLAs were suspended from the Punjab Assembly for the rest of its Budget session after they created a ruckus, shouting slogans and storming the well of the House. After Speaker Rana K P Singh announced their suspension, the MLA squatted on the floor. Marshals were them called to evict them. The House is scheduled to sit for three more days after the weekend break. The Budget will be presented on March 8 and the session ends on March 10. Altogether, the Shiromani Akal Dal (SAD) has 14 members in the Punjab Assembly. The ruckus erupted while Chief Minister Amarinder Singh was replying to the debate on the Governor's address. SAD and Aam Aadmi Party MLAs rushed to the well of the House and shouted slogans against the Congress government as the CM spoke about his party's victory in the recent civic polls. The MLAs chanted slogans over the state government's "unfulfilled promises." In turn, some ruling party legislators also raised slogans against the SAD and the AAP for coming together to interrupt the CM's speech. The Speaker then adjourned the House for 15 minutes. When the proceedings resumed, the CM spoke about the relief in electricity tariff given by his government to the industry after COVID-19 pandemic. Akali legislator N K Sharma contested his claim, saying a "high" tariff was being charged from traders. SAD MLAs rose from their seats and rushed to the well of the House again over the power tariff issue, prompting the Speaker to issue a warning. "I will name you. Don't force me to suspend you for three days of the session," he said. "If you do not allow the House to run, it is my 'dharma' to run it," he said, asking the Akalis, "What message do you want to give to the world?" SAD legislators then staged a walk out. They returned when Amarinder Singh was targeting SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and his wife and former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal. (editor@dailyworld.in)
