The agitated members protested against the way MNS MLA Pravin Darekar was suspended for a year from the House, for using "abusive" language in the House.
Speaker Dilip Walse Patil asked the opposition members to resume their seats. However, they were adamant, and instead, asked the Speaker to allow the Leader of Opposition Eknath Khadse to speak.
