Guwahati: Assam MLA Sherman Ali Ahmed was suspended from the Assembly for the second time on Saturday, a day after his earlier suspension for the entire Winter Session was revoked. The latest action followed his attempt to raise a Point of Order without adhering to the procedural rules of the House.

Speaker Biswajit Daimary intervened and asked Ahmed to specify the rule under which he sought to raise the issue. Ahmed offered no clear response and kept speaking despite repeated instructions to follow the procedure. His continued defiance prompted the Speaker to order a brief suspension.

On the opening day of the session, both Ahmed and Congress MLA Nurul Huda had been suspended for the entire Winter Session on the recommendation of the Privilege Committee over alleged misconduct toward Deputy Speaker Numal Momin.

The suspension was withdrawn on Friday after appeals from leaders across party lines.

Ahmed’s fresh suspension came less than 24 hours after that reinstatement. Once the Speaker issued the order, the House moved on with its scheduled business, signaling an emphasis on discipline and procedural clarity during the ongoing Winter Session.
