INDIA walks out of Rajya Sabha
Parties belonging to the INDIA coalition today walked out of the Rajya Sabha in protest against Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge not being allowed to complete his comments on the Manipur issue by having his mic switched off.
Earlier, Kharge and Leader of House Piyush Goyal of the BJP entered into a war of words over the demand for a debate on Manipur.
When reminded that 50 MPs have given notice to discuss Manipur immediately but the prime minister is running away from debate, Goyal tried to dilute the issue by saying that atrocities on women in Opposition-ruled states will also be discussed.
