As soon as Question Hour ended, Daimary allowed Opposition Leader Debabrata Saikia to raise the notice and asked him to speak on the motion’s admissibility.

He emphasised that the disqualification of Gandhi violated the Constitution by citing various clauses of the Constitution concerning the disqualification of a parliamentarian.
