Upbeat Opposition goes full throttle, SP MLA suspended
Lucknow, Aug. 5 -- The Uttar Pradesh assembly witnessed uproarious scenes over the alleged Ram temple donation theft case on the second day of the Monsoon session on Tuesday. The Samajwadi Party, which appeared upbeat after raising this and the Gen Z protests in Parliament earlier with its ally the Congress, sought to corner the BJP-led NDA government in Uttar Pradesh during the legislative assembly's Monsoon session.
Seeing an opportunity to put the government on the backfoot, Samajwadi Party members disrupted House proceedings, demanding a discussion on the Ram temple donation theft.

Even as the SP and Congress MLAs continued to shout slogans, chief minister Yogi Adityanath rose from the seat to counter the Opposition attack.
The SP MLAs started shouting slogans at high pitch. The speaker objected when SP MLA Sachin Yadav waved a photo of the CM. Mahana ordered that Yadav will be suspended for the entire Monsoon session. SP MLAs grappled with marshals who tried to move Yadav out of the House. Some SP MLAs formed a human chain around Yadav. Mahana warned that he will take the matter to the ethics committee to get the membership of the SP MLA terminated.

The Samajwadi Party MLAs continued sloganeering, forcing the speaker to adjourn the proceedings for the day. Amid the pandemonium, the chief minister moved outside the assembly. The SP MLAs sat on the floor of the House in solidarity with Sachin Yadav who staged a sit-in outside. On the request of Pandey, the SP MLAs called off the protest later....
