Terming the state government as "murderer," the opposition members said the farmers were killed in a cold-blooded encounter.
The proceedings of Maharashtra Legislature were affected for the third consecutive day on Thursday as opposition members created a ruckus demanding suspension of police officers in connection with the Maval firing incident in which atleast three persons were killed.
Both the Houses saw uproarious scenes since they assembled for the day over the incident in which three persons were killed during a farmers' protest in Maval near Pune on Tuesday following protests over a closed pipeline project.
Terming the state government as "murderer," the opposition members said the farmers were killed in a "cold-blooded encounter."
The innocent victims were dragged to the police van and shot dead at point blank, they alleged.
The Lower House was adjourned for five times while the Upper House four times as opposition members shouted slogans against the government.
Meanwhile, after two adjournments of one hour and thirty minutes, the Assembly paid homage to former Maharashtra Governor P C Alexander who passed away yesterday.
Immediately after the condolence motion was adopted, the opposition members resorted to sloganeering and rushed to the well following which the Speaker Dilip Walse Patil again adjourned the house for 30 minutes.
Later, presiding officer Nawab Malik rushed through the business of laying of papers amid pandemonium but had to adjourn the house for 15 minutes when the opposition members climbed onto the podium and overturned the side table of the Legislative Principal Secretary Anant Kalse's desk.
"The concerned police officials should be suspended immediately," they demanded.
Later, the Chair adjourned the House for one more hour. However, sensing the belligerent mood of the Opposition, the House was later adjourned for the day.
