Speaker Kailash Meghwal suspended nine opposition MLAs -- eight from the Congress and one independent MLA - for rest of the budget session of the assembly.
Earlier, Congress MLAs led by opposition leader Rameshwar Dudi raised the issue of the baton charge by police on Congress workers outside the state assembly.
He alleged that some of their party workers including MLA Ashok Chandana and state Congress president Sachin Pilot sustained injuries in the police action while they were trying to march towards the assembly.

The MLAs from the treasury benches moved a motion for suspending these opposition MLAs from the rest of the assembly session.

"Our MLAs are not going to attend the assembly session when it meets after holiday on March 9," Sachin Pilot, state president of the Congress, told IANS.
He said that on Wednesday (March 4) the Congress will hold protest rallies and marches against the electricity tariff hike at all district headquarters and submit memorandums to district collectors.
