Adhiakri led his legislators to continue protest demonstration outside house.

The speaker rejected the motion, saying the matter is subjudice. A number of PILs filed in the Calcutta High court on the controversial remark.

Hung the picture of the president of India around the neck of each and every BJP MLA, Adhikari shouted slogans against the Mamata Banerjee government’s minister for allegedly insulting the constitutional head of the country.
