Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari was on Tuesday suspended for the remainder of the special session of the West Bengal Assembly by Speaker Biman Banerjee for allegedly disrupting proceedings convened to debate a motion condemning the alleged harassment of Bengali migrants.

During a discussion on the motion condemning alleged attacks on Bengali-speaking migrants in BJP-ruled states, Adhikari stood up and interrupted Education Minister Bratya Basu for allegedly making 'defamatory' remarks about the Indian Army.

The BJP leader shouted slogans against the TMC government and demanded that Basu's comments be expunged from the proceedings, a request denied by the Speaker.
