PATNA: Opposition members in the Bihar assembly stormed the well of the House on Wednesday seeking withdrawal of the Waqf Amendment Bill by the Centre and demanding that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar clear his stand on the contentious issue.
Speaker Nand Kishor Yadav adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm after repeated pleas that the members return to their seats and realize that it was a matter that could not be decided at the state level.
Later, Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the opposition who had sat quietly amid the bedlam, told reporters that he was fully with the agitating members on the contentious issue.
