(Image: PTI\/File)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">A massive drama unfolded in the West Bengal assembly during a discussion on the Mamata Banerjee government\u2019s resolution on alleged atrocities against Bengali migrants.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">When Banerjee stood up to address the assembly, BJP lawmakers staged a protest and\u00a0raised slogans, questioning the suspension of Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on September 2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Amid the uproar, Speaker Biman Banerjee suspended BJP chief whip Shankar Ghosh from the assembly for the remainder of the day for creating disorder. As Ghosh refused to leave, assembly marshals were called in, and he was physically dragged out of the House.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Later, BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul, who was shouting slogans, was also suspended, with the Speaker ordering women marshals to take her out. BJP\u2019s Mihir Goswami, Ashok Dinda and Bankim Ghosh were also suspended.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The BJP alleged that democracy is dead in Bengal, opposing the suspension of its lawmakers. The BJP legislators also alleged that water bottles were thrown at them from the treasury benches during the commotion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">In her speech, CM Mamata Banerjee alleged that the BJP is against the Bengali language, the poor, SCs and Hindus.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cA time will soon come when not a single BJP MLA will remain in Bengal. The people themselves will ensure it. BJP will face inevitable defeat, for no party that wages linguistic terror against Bengalis can ever win Bengal,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The Chief Minister has been attacking the BJP over the alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking migrants in BJP-ruled states.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Banerjee said the opposition party does not want a discussion on the harassment of Bengalis. \u201cBJP is a party of vote-chors, corrupt to the core, persecutors of Bengalis, and masters of deception. BJP is a national disgrace, and I condemn them in the strongest terms\u2026 We saw in Parliament how the BJP used CISF to harass our MPs,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u201cThey think they can stifle our voice in Bengal as well. Is this the extent of their audacity? Even if you chop my head off, I will continue to speak in Bengali,&#8221; the CM added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Targeting the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said Mamata Banerjee has completely lost her plot and she is scared of an imminent defeat.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">\u201cDEMOCRACY MURDERED IN WEST BENGAL ASSEMBLY. What happened today in the West Bengal Assembly is nothing short of a black day for democracy. Mamata Banerjee and her dictatorial TMC regime once again proved that they cannot tolerate dissent, debate, or the voice of the opposition. In a shameful display, BJP Chief Whip Shankar Ghosh was suspended and physically assaulted by marshals, simply for raising his voice in the Bengali language row during the special session. Mamata Banerjee has completely lost her plot. She is scared of an imminent defeat,&#8221; he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/saurabh-verma-22693.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Saurabh Verma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saurabh Verma covers general, national and international day-to-day news for News18.com as a Senior Sub-editor.
