'''Abdul Mannan''' is an Indian politician who was the Leader of the Opposition belonging to the [[Indian National Congress]] in the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]].<br />
<br />
On 7 February 2017, Mannan was seriously injured in a fight over a property damage bill in the Assembly.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/ruckus-in-west-bengal-assembly-congress-mla-abdul-mannan-badly-injured/|title=Ruckus in West Bengal Assembly, Congress MLA Abdul Mannan badly injured|date=8 February 2017|publisher=|access-date=9 February 2017|archive-date=8 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170208115652/http://indianexpress.com/article/india/ruckus-in-west-bengal-assembly-congress-mla-abdul-mannan-badly-injured/|url-status=live}}</ref> Mannan protested the law, which would jail criminals for vandalism for 7 years, using placards. He was asked to stop but refused, after which he was suspended. He then sat in the Well of the House in protest, which led to a confrontation between police trying to remove him and fellow Congress MLAs, leading to Mannan being seriously injured.<br />
<br />
Two days later, Mannan complained of suffocation and chest pains during an Assembly meeting, leading him to get a temporary pacemaker implanted another two days later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/abdul-mannan-stable-after-heart-surgery/articleshow/57090999.cms|title=Abdul Mannan stable after heart surgery - Times of India|work=The Times of India |date=11 February 2017 |publisher=|access-date=11 February 2017|archive-date=12 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170212223302/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/abdul-mannan-stable-after-heart-surgery/articleshow/57090999.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
