<h1>Assembly disciplinary action over a ministerial remark sparks MLA suspensions and a party boycott, stalling legislative business.</h1> Assembly disciplinary action over a minister's remark led to suspension of six opposition MLAs for the remainder of the Budget Session; the suspended members demanded removal of the ministerial remark from proceedings and a formal apology, prompting a party boycott and sit in while Question Hour continued amid adjournments. Attempts at resolving the deadlock in the Speaker's chamber failed when the Speaker and Parliamentary Affairs Minister were not satisfied with statements by the suspended party chief, and executive ministers urged cooperation to restore House functioning.
