The adjournment motion was brought by the BJP to highlight alleged intimidation at some places in the state over organising Saraswati Puja earlier this month.Pal later told reporters outside the assembly that Saraswati Puja had to be held at some places in the state with police protection, including a law college in Kolkata with orders from the Calcutta High Court.She said the walkout by the BJP MLAs was to protest the Speaker’s refusal to a discussion on the adjournment motion brought by her and some other party legislators.The Speaker, while disallowing the discussion in the House, allowed one BJP MLA to read out the motion.After Pal read out the motion in the House, the BJP MLAs started protesting, raising slogans and holding placards, claiming appeasement by ruling TMC for electoral gains.Trinamool Congress chief whip Nirmal Ghosh brought a motion in the House, claiming that the acts of protest by the BJP MLAs were outside legislative culture and demanded action against them.
