Disruption in Karnataka Assembly over Shivalinge Gowda’s remarks

A confrontation erupted in the Karnataka Assembly on Wednesday between BJP members and Congress member K.M. Shivalinge Gowda, resulting in a brief adjournment. The incident stemmed from alleged unparliamentary words exchanged during an ongoing dharna by the BJP demanding the resignation of Excise Minister R.B. Thimmapur. The Speaker ordered the expungement of the words and requested both sides to express regret, but neither party complied.
