Patna:The BJP created a ruckus in the Bihar assembly on Friday over police action against ABVP members and demanded action against police officers responsible for this.

Speaker Uday Narain Choudhary adjourned the proceedings till 2 p.m in the wake of protests by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators.

On Thursday, police fired in the air and resorted to a baton charge to disperse ABVP members who pelted stones at police during a protest near the Bihar assembly against the education scenario in the state. Nearly 100 people were injured while many ABVP activists were detained.

After the assembly proceedings began on Friday, Leader of Opposition Nand Kishore Yadav slammed the police action against ABVP members and started pursuing the speaker to discuss the matter.

Yadav has said the police action would prove costly for the Nitish Kumar government.

BJP legislators trooped into the well of the house and started raising anti-government slogans.

The protest turned violent on Thursday when ABVP activists with saffron flags in their hands started pelting stones at police and later broke open a huge iron gate at the R-Block near the state assembly.

Some ABVP activists later attacked public, targeted vehicles and tried to ransack some shops in many parts of Patna. They looted fruit vendors and attacked shops near the Patna railway station, police said.

Demanding a high-level probe into the police action, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has called a Bihar shutdown on March 30 to protest against the incident.
