The opposition had expected the interpellation on the country's growing security problems to take priority. The debate had already been called off on Thursday, and the expectation was that the issue would be the first item on Friday's agenda. Adhin, however, opted for a different order of business, immediately triggering tensions in the chamber.

VHP parliamentarian Mahinder Jogi repeatedly objected to the way the proceedings were being handled. The Speaker considered his protests disruptive and ordered him to leave the chamber. The other opposition members decided to stand in solidarity with Jogi and also walked out of the meeting.

Following the opposition's departure, Adhin continued the session with only the governing coalition factions present. The Assembly then proceeded with the consideration of the bill approving Suriname's accession to the Convention Establishing the Latin American and Caribbean Space Agency.

According to the opposition, the country's security situation has become so alarming that Parliament must give it priority attention. The governing coalition and the Speaker, however, take a different view. They consider the space treaty an important matter as well and point out that cooperation in the field of space exploration also has implications for security.
