Trinamool Congress MLA Kunal Ghosh was suspended from the West Bengal Assembly for the remainder of the day after disrupting proceedings by interrupting rebel faction leader Akhruzzaman during a debate on the Home and Hill Affairs budget.The incident occurred as Ghosh, a member of the Mamata Banerjee-led Kalighat faction, questioned why his name was removed from the speaker list.

Ghosh alleged his name was removed without justification, while Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari condemned the behavior, emphasizing responsibility despite being in the opposition.
