Congress MLA Aslam Shaikh was today suspended from Maharashtra Assembly for a day after he spurned the Chair's directions not to throw paper waste in the House.
Shaikh, who represents Malad West Assembly constituency, was protesting against the alleged 'purification' of a lake in Mahad by a Shiv Sena MLA.
He was tearing bits of paper and throwing them in the House.
