The suspended Congress MLAs, who were staging a sit-in the Well of the House protesting action against them, were forcibly evicted from the Assembly and dropped near the Congress Bhawan, a party leader alleged on Wednesday.

The MLAs were "forcibly evicted" from the Assembly on Tuesday night and they had to spend the night on the street at Master Canteen, he said.

Speaking to PTI, Bhakta Charan Das, Odisha Congress president said, "Congress MLAs were dumped on the road at 2 am by the BJP government. Congress MLAs are protesting and it will continue."

While his party colleague and suspended MLA Ashok Das said, "The government suspended 12 Congress MLAs yesterday. We asked why the government suspended us? They said that Congress MLAs were playing gongs. It was PM Modi who promoted playing of gong. The 'Vishwa Guru' had promoted playing of gong, banging of steel plates, lighting up lamps, etc. We did what he promoted then why were we suspended?"

Odisha Congress president Bhakta Charan Das and AICC in-charge of Odisha, Ajay Kumar Lallu are sitting on dharna in the Master Canteen area on Wednesday protesting the suspension of 12 party MLAs.

"Yesterday will go down as a black day in history. Democracy was murdered. 12 Congress MLAs were suspended. At midnight, they were beaten up and thrown on the road. The MLAs were demanding women safety in Odisha. 64,000 women went missing during BJD-BJP rule. What is the action plan of the government?, " Lallu told PTI.

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Rama Chandra Kadam alleged that the party MLAs during their stay in the Assembly, were denied food, water and even toilet facility. Kadam was injured in the Assembly on Tuesday night as a security man slammed the door on his hand. He sustained injury on his finger.

The Congress MLA were on Tuesday suspended from the House for seven days on a charge of 'indiscipline'. They were demanding formation of a House Committee to inquire into the rising crimes against women across the state after the BJP came to power in June last year.

The suspension of 12 Congress MLAs also triggered a face-off outside the Assembly on Tuesday night as police prevented the entry of senior Congress leaders to Assembly premises. The police later took the leaders to reserve ground and released them later.

Bhubaneswar DCP Jagmohan Meena said that the Congress leaders and activists were taken on preventive arrest and released at the reserve ground.
