In a heated Monsoon session of the Jharkhand Assembly, 18 Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs were suspended by the Speaker for their unruly behavior during a protest demanding the Chief Minister's resignation. The suspended MLAs spent the night in the Assembly lobby, while the ruling alliance accused them of creating chaos for political gain. The House ethics committee has been tasked to investigate the issue, while the Opposition called the Speaker's action a "dictatorship".
