In an unprecedented development, Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was on Friday forced to cut short his inaugural address at the newly formed assembly, amid ruckus by BJP MLAs who took offence after finding “no mention” of post-poll violence in the speech.

Dhankhar could barely speak for four minutes as BJP MLAs, carrying pictures of alleged victims, rushed to the well of the House to protest.  He was escorted to his car by Speaker Biman Banerjee and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
