Jharkhand Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto said he was "forced" to suspend 18 Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday as they indulged in "hooliganism" and "violated the decorum of the House".
The saffron party legislators misbehaved with male and female marshals and flouted norms by uploading videos on social media platforms from inside the House, Mahto told reporters after the Assembly was adjourned till Friday.
"I am deeply saddened by the conduct of BJP MLAs. It is a black day in the 24 years of Jharkhand`s history," he said.
The legislators were removed by marshals after they refused to leave the House on Thursday.
The Speaker took action against the BJP members after they created ruckus in the House in protest against the eviction of the Opposition MLAs by marshals on the previous day and Chief Minister Hemant Soren`s "refusal" to reply to their queries.
