On the first of assembly session, Samajwadi Party chief and Leader of Opposition in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Akhilesh Yadav requested and demanded discussion about the ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur.
Requesting to speaker, Samajwadi Party chief said, “This is a serious issue the way things happened in Manipur. But we are even unable to move a resolution for condemnation (ninda prastab) on the violence. Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in the country and the Prime Minister comes from this state (as an MP). There is no place in this world where Manipur violence has not been condemned. Can we expect that leader of this House speak something on Manipur.”
On the other side, the speaker Satish Mahana said that the Manipur matter was not part of the business of the House when Akhilesh Yadav was speaking on the floor of the House.
Earlier, on Monday morning , Opposition Samajwadi Party MLAs staged protest against price rise, crime rate, reservation for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes outside Parliament house of UP.
The monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly commenced today.
