Maharashtra’s Opposition parties — Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Sharad Pawar-led faction of National Congress Party (NCP) — staged a walkout in the State Assembly, protesting the State government’s decision to not allow a discussion on the Manipur situation after video of women being paraded naked went viral on social media.
The Opposition parties, in the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Maharashtra State Legislative Assembly, demanded the dismissal of the N. Biren Singh-led Manipur government and called for President’s Rule in the State.
They vociferously sought a discussion on the lawlessness and gruesome events in Manipur and table resolutions to condemn the BJP-led Central government for its alleged inaction.
