Trinamool, BJP Trade 'Chor' Jibes, Scream Slogans Amid Ruckus In Assembly

Ruckus and chaos were on full view in the West Bengal Assembly Thursday as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party, the main opposition party, shouted and screamed at each other over a resolution condemning 'atrocities' against Bengali migrants.

BJP lawmakers refused to allow Ms Banerjee to speak, demanding instead she explain why Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of the Opposition, had been suspended for the rest of the session; he had been suspended Monday for disrupting a debate on the alleged harassment of Bengali migrants.
