The budget session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha faced an unexpected disruption as Congress MLAs created a tumultuous scene during the morning proceedings. The chaos erupted as the Governor commenced reading the session’s speech, with Congress members vehemently protesting and raising slogans, particularly on issues related to farmers.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Governor decided to abandon the speech midway, emphasizing that everyone would have an opportunity to express their views. Following this development, the proceedings were adjourned, and a decision was made to reconvene on Monday at two o’clock in the afternoon.
The disruption highlights the heightened tensions and differing opinions within the Vidhan Sabha, particularly concerning matters affecting the farming community. The incident adds an air of uncertainty to the ongoing budget session, with both opposition and ruling party members expected to engage in extensive deliberations when the session resumes.
As the political landscape in Punjab remains charged, all eyes are on the upcoming session to see how the discussions unfold and whether a resolution can be reached on the contentious issues raised by the Congress MLAs.
