Giving information about this, spokesman of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha said that on June 22, during the Question Hour at 10:30 am, members of Aam Aadmi Party and Lok Insaaf Party created serious hurdles in the question hour proceedings and despite of repeated attempts by the Chair to stop such activities, they did not stop doing so. Due to this the Speaker had to name and suspend the members of Aam Aadmi Party and Lok Insaaf Party for smooth functioning of the remaining proceedings of the House on Thursday.
The spokesman said that during the debate at 11:20 pm, members of the SAD and Bharatiya Janata Party legislators crossed the floor of the house shouting slogans and walked out.
