New Delhi, Dec 03: The issue of large-scale violence
against Biharis in Assam rocked the Lok Sabha today with
several agitated members from Bihar trooping into the well and
demanding an immediate discussion on it, forcing adjournment
of the house for an hour.
As soon as the house assembled this morning, Rajesh
Ranjan (Ind) stormed the well saying that question hour be
suspended and a discussion held on "killing of 300 Biharis" in
Assam.
Raising the issue, Prabhunath Singh (Samata) said besides
the killing of Biharis, their property was looted and police
in Assam remained a "silent spectator".
"Assam Chief Minister is involved", Singh alleged,
provoking loud protests from congress benches. At one stage,
Ranjan moved menacingly towards congress benches accusing the
party which is ruling in Assam and supporting the Rabri Devi
government in Bihar of failure to take appropriate action.
