A heated opposition protest forced the Odisha Legislative Assembly to be adjourned repeatedly, prompting the speaker to convene an all‑party meeting.
During a sitting of the Odisha Legislative Assembly, opposition legislators staged a loud protest that disrupted the proceedings. The disturbance escalated to the point where the speaker ordered the house to be adjourned several times in quick succession. Each adjournment was intended to restore order but the opposition continued to voice their grievances, prolonging the interruption. In response, the speaker announced an all‑party meeting to address the issues raised and to seek a consensus on restoring normal legislative business. The meeting is expected to involve leaders from all major parties and will be held shortly after the session resumes.
