India: Rumpus In Rajasthan Assembly;2 MLAs Injured

Indian Rajasthan Assembly Friday adjourned after scores of marshals grappled with opposition MLAs while trying to evict a suspended BJP legislator.


As marshals jostled with opposition members to evict BJP chief whip RS Rathore, party MLA Bahadur Singh Koli got injured while his colleague Gulab Chand Kataria complained of chest pain.Koli received minor injury in his finger and leg and was moved to the lobby, while Kataria was hospitalized.





As the House met for the day, Speaker Dipender Singh Shekhawat observed that a 'stranger' cannot stay in the House, in an obvious reference to Rathore. As Opposition BJP MLAs supported by CPM and JD-U did not go back to their seats and kept shouting anti- government slogans, the Speaker called the marshals to evict Rathore.


High drama was witnessed as marshals had a trying time in coming near Rathore who was shielded by party MLAs. During the brawl, two MLAs got injured.
