As the protests intensified, Speaker Ganesh Gaonkar ordered the marshalling out of the protesting MLAs. The House was first adjourned for 10 minutes.
When proceedings resumed, Opposition members again gathered in the Well and questioned why the Goa Protection for Agriculture Bill was not allowed to be introduced. Responding to the protests, Gaonkar said, “This is not democracy; you need to allow the Speaker to address.”
Opposition MLAs continued raising slogans of “Karo Ya Maro”, prompting the Speaker to adjourn the House again.
