Speaker Biman Bandhopadhyay however, said that 14 security staffers of the assembly were injured as they were trying to remove the suspended MLAs from the House.

“It is a very unfortunate incident. Such a thing should not take place in Parliamentary democracy. Inspection will be done about the complaints that BJP MLAs personal belongings were damaged and complaints of saffron camp legislators damaging the microphones will also be looked into,” said Bandhopadhyay.
