Kunal Ghosh Challenges Speaker in Bengal Assembly
In the Bengal Assembly, Kunal Ghosh, a member of the Trinamool Congress, had a heated argument with the Speaker, Rathindra Bose.
Ghosh was upset because the Speaker called the events from the previous day a 'blot' and refused to discuss them.
Ghosh wanted to talk about it but was told to sit down.
The situation was tense, but Ghosh was not removed from the Assembly.
Later, Ghosh and the Opposition chief whip, Akhruzzaman, had a friendly talk to clear the air.
The argument started because Ghosh was not allowed to speak during a debate, and he protested by standing in front of Akhruzzaman's microphone.
Kunal Ghosh challenged Speaker Rathindra Bose over the description of Wednesday's events as 'a blot'.
Ghosh insisted on discussing the matter but was directed to return to his seat.
The situation became tense, with marshals moving closer but not removing Ghosh.
Ghosh and Opposition chief whip Akhruzzaman had a friendly interaction to ease tensions.
