While demonstrating the opposition leaders gathered in the well of the House, demanding action against BJP MLA Jadab Lal Nath.
During the protest, two MLAs from TIPRA party, namely Brishaketu Debbarma and Ranjit Debbarma, climbed onto a table in the House as part of their demonstration.
In response, Tripura chief minister Dr Manik Saha requested the Speaker to suspend five opposition MLAs from the session, citing their disturbance and disregard for the decorum of the House.
As a result, the Speaker of the Tripura legislative assembly, Biswabandhu Sen, suspended Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman, TIPRA MLAs Birshaketu Debbarma, Ranjit Debbarma, and Nandita Reang, as well as CPI-M MLA Nayan Sarkar, from the current session.
In protest against this decision, the opposition leaders decided to walk out of the house.
