The Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha was force-stopped on Monday in protest of the Speaker's decision of expunging a portion of the opposition leader's speech on the very first day of the winter session.

After the lower house congratulated Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobade, a Nagpur native, opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis rose to remind Speaker Nana Patole of his notices to speak on the farmers' issues and a controversy over the remarks on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. However, Patole gave directions for not taking the BJP leader's 'praise' of Savarkar on record.
