Commotion in legislative assembly during Opposition leader's speech, Speaker intervenes

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: During the presentation of the emergency resolution notice in the Legislative Assembly, the members of the ruling party created a commotion as Opposition Leader V D Satheesan was delivering his walkout speech. Speaker MB Rajesh instructed not to disrupt the speech but the ruckus continued.

After Satheesan said that there will be a backlash in the same manner, the commotion in the assembly increased. Meanwhile, PC Vishnunath said that the names of those who are appointed regularly to make noises when the Opposition leader was speaking will be announced in the assembly. The Opposition leader was given an oppurtunity to speak after the Speaker settled the commotion.

The Speaker, who had earlier criticized members sitting together and talking while the proceedings of the House were going on, also reminded the same issue again yesterday before the zero hour.
