Budget session of the Meghalaya Assembly began on a stormy note Monday as MLAs of Voice of People Party (VPP) staged a walkout in protest against Governor Phagu Chauhan addressing the House in Hindi.
As Chauhan began reading his speech in Hindi, VPP legislator Ardent Miller Basiawmoit rose to his feet and objected. Basaiawmoit urged the Speaker that Governor should address the House in English. However, the speaker asked VPP leader not to interrupt Governor’s address, but the latter continued to disrupt till he and his three other fellow MLAs staged a walkout.
