Dramatic scenes unfolded in the Punjab assembly on Friday as legislators of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and opposition Congress stormed the well of the House amid Opposition's demand of an alcohol test on chief minister Bhagwant Mann.

The House that reconvened after lunch break was adjourned as Congress MLAs demanded a breath analyser test on Mann, while the AAP MLAs retaliated with slogans.

The Speaker also rejected the opposition's demand for an 'immediate' dope test on chief minister Mann and all MLAs during the ongoing special session of the Punjab assembly.

Earlier, Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa had raised concerns on Mann's 'conduct' and had written to the Speaker.

The Punjab BJP joined the chorus for breath analyser and alcohol test, with its chief Sunil Jakhar calling for tests for all legislators present in the state Assembly.
