Replying to the motion, Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “It’s unprecedented that we’re expressing opinions on a judicial matter here. I know that a decision was taken at Congress Legislature Party last night to create noise here.”

As opposition members shouted slogans, speaker Biswajit Daimary first adjourned the House for 15 minutes and again for 20 minutes.
