The monsoon session of the Haryana Assembly opened amid uproar on Thursday after Congress MLAs, dressed in black and carrying placards, were stopped by security personnel before the session began at 11am. Congress alleged that some MLAs were manhandled during the confrontation; Badli MLA Kuldeep Vats claimed he was assaulted. Videos of the incident surfaced but did not clearly show how the altercation began.

Inside the house, Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda raised the issue after obituary references and sought an explanation from Speaker Harvinder Kalyan. The protests led to repeated adjournments, a walkout by Congress MLAs, and the suspension of eight opposition legislators for the day.
