"Never before the Assembly has witnessed such whimsical decisions. How can there be obituary references just after the address of the Governor on the same day?" Leader of opposition Abdul Mannan of the Congress asked.
The opposition MLAs staged a walkout after Speaker Biman Banerjee made obituary references following Governor K N Tripathi's address at the beginning of the budget session.
Tripathi has also expressed grief over the killing of journalists Gauri Lankesh in Karnataka and Santanu Bhowmick in Tripura.
