Agartala: Members observe silence to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in the State Assembly, in Agartala, Friday, Sept. 23, 2022. (PTI Photo) CPI(M) MLAs of Tripura Friday staged a walkout of the assembly on the first day of the monsoon session of the 12th assembly and alleged they were not allowed to speak in the House on issues concerning the common people.
Speaking to reporters later in his chamber in the assembly premises, Opposition leader Manik Sarkar said the walk out was preceded by an adjournment motion moved by Left Front MLA Tapan Chakraborty on behalf of the Opposition legislators in the House in protest against the government’s denial to meet student and youth bodies agitating to demand education and work for all, assurances of a violence-free state and subsequent police actions against them.
The motion was denied by Speaker Ratan Chakraborty, saying there was no scope of adjournment. He added that the Opposition MLAs could raise their concerns during the discussions in the House.
“As many as 15 of our MLAs staged a protest in the House but the Speaker kept working in an arrogant manner. We had no option but to walk out,” Sarkar said.
He also took potshots at Chakraborty saying he keeps looking at the treasury benches at all times. “He (Chakraborty) had to work depending on instructions from there (treasury benches),” Sarkar alleged, adding, “He can’t take any decisions on his own. It had become clear to us since the beginning.”
