Suvendu Adhikari Suspended Amidst Bengal Assembly Controversy
In the West Bengal Assembly, a BJP leader named Suvendu Adhikari was kicked out for a while.
This happened because he kept interrupting the people talking.
The problem started when someone mentioned the Indian Army and Adhikari got upset.
He thought they were saying bad things about the Army.
The session was discussing if people from Bengal were being treated unfairly in other places.
The government party said the opposition was making things up and the opposition party felt the government was disrespecting the Army.

The suspension followed a debate about alleged attacks on Bengali-speaking migrants.
Education Minister Bratya Basu made comments about the Indian Army, triggering the uproar.
