Harish Dhami, a Congress MLA from Uttarakhand, staged a protest after being denied a chance to speak in the presence of the Chief Minister.
Harish Dhami, a senior Congress legislator from Uttarakhand, raised his voice in the assembly after officials refused to allow him a speech in the presence of the Chief Minister.
The incident took place during a routine session of the state legislature, where Dhami had requested an opportunity to address the assembly on a matter he deemed important. When the request was denied, he began shouting and gesturing, causing a brief disruption.
Assembly officials later intervened, and Dhami was escorted out of the chamber. The episode has drawn criticism from opposition leaders who say the denial was unjustified, while the ruling party defended the decision as procedural. The incident is being investigated by the legislative committee for maintaining decorum.
