Opposition walkouts on Nandigram Issue

The Opposition staged a walkout in the Lok Sabha on Monday to register their protest over the Centre's silence on the recent violence in the Nandigram, West Bengal.

The day's proceedings opened with the Opposition trying to raise Sunday's clashes in Nandigram in which one person was killed and two injured. However, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee refused to allow Vijay Kumar Malhotra (Bharatiya Janata Party) to raise the issue during question hour saying that it could be brought up later.
