At the beginning of question hour, Das sought the Speaker’s attention for rejecting his motion and demanded immediate discussion, which was disallowed. Speaker Ratan Chakraborty told him that after completion of question hour and obituary, the MLA will be allowed to speak on the issue but couldn’t allow the adjournment because the CM is scheduled to make a statement on it.
