When the session resumed, Garhwa MLA S.N. Tiwari addressed the House, speaking on the budget cut proposal and raising the Surya Hansda issue. Citing Dishom Guru Shibu Soren as an advocate for tribal rights, he criticised the encounter. In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Radhakrishna Kishore said it was improper to compare Shibu Soren to Surya Hansda, who he claimed had a criminal background.Leader of the Opposition, Babulal Marandi, defended Tiwari’s statement, asserting that Hansda was a political figure. “If that is the comparison, there were also many allegations against Shibu Soren,” Marandi said. He demanded a CBI inquiry into the encounter.The protest led to another adjournment, this time until 3:30 pm. The commotion continued when the House reassembled. Congress MLA Rameshwar Oraon eventually replied on behalf of the government, even as BJP MLAs staged a walkout in protest.Undeterred, Oraon completed his statement, after which the Speaker passed the supplementary budget through a voice vote. The House was then adjourned until 11 am on Tuesday.
