BJP legislators staged a walkout from the West Bengal Assembly after the Speaker rejected their proposal to discuss alleged attacks on religious sites during the recent pujas.

The Speaker, Biman Bandyopadhyay, denied the motion, stating that the issue had surfaced in previous debates, prompting BJP members, led by Suvendu Adhikari, to protest.

The dissenting lawmakers accused the state government of failing to protect citizens' religious rights and demanded the Chief Minister's resignation, asserting that their voices were being suppressed.
