LUCKNOW: Leader of the opposition in the state Assembly and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, along with party MLAs and MLCs, staged a dharna on road after their foot march to Vidhan Bhawan to attend the opening day of the monsoon session was stopped by the police.
The party legislators then held a ‘parallel assembly session’ which started with recital of Vande Mataram and ended with observing two-minute silence in memory of BJP MLA from Gola Gokarannath Arvind Giri who died of a heart attack on September 6. The dharna ended thereafter.
