Opposition MLAs, who were protesting against the draconian Bihar Police Bill were brutally beaten up by BJP-JD(U) police inside #BiharAssembly. What happened today in #biharvidhansabha is exactly what the new police bill aims at- power to beat up anyone who dares to question. pic.twitter.com/vi0S7EniF3

Huge ruckus in the house

Opposition legislators started shouting slogans against the bill as soon as the proceedings of the House began at 11 am on Tuesday. Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha urged to raise the issue at the appropriate time, which was ignored by the opposition members. On this, Sinha adjourned the house till noon. Meanwhile, a large number of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) activists, led by Tejashwi and his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav and some other MLAs, gathered on JP Golambar. From there he marched towards the assembly complex, which is about three kilometres away.

A large number of policemen were deployed on the route of March as this march was taken out without the permission of the administration and the protesters were not following the Covid-19 rules.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has also tweeted about the uproar in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. He targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Rahul Gandhi said, “It is clear from the shameful incident of Bihar Legislative Assembly that the Chief Minister has become completely RSS / BJP-agent. Those who defy democracy have no right to be called government. The opposition will still keep raising voice in the public interest – we are not afraid!”

#बिहार विधानसभा की शर्मनाक घटना से साफ़ है कि मुख्यमंत्री पूरी तरह RSS/BJP-मय हो चुके हैं।

लोकतंत्र का चीरहरण करने वालों को सरकार कहलाने का कोई अधिकार नहीं है।

विपक्ष फिर भी जनहित में आवाज़ उठाता रहेगा- हम नहीं डरते!
