Shoes hurled at Speaker SN Patro in Odisha Assembly, three BJP MLAs suspended

The Odisha State Assembly is going through a budget session. An ugly event took place in the state assembly as several BJP leaders allegedly hurled shoes, pens and headphones at Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro's podium. Hardly had the Bill been passed in the pre-lunch session when opposition BJP members were on their feet, shouting at the Speaker. The BJP has 22 MLAs in the 147-member Odisha assembly.
