Opposition walks out of meet over Manipur

Opposition members today walked out of a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs after panel chairman and BJP RS member Brijlal rejected their demand to discuss the situation in Manipur.

As the meeting was called to discuss prison reforms in Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, TMC’s Derek O’Brien, and Congress’ Digvijaya Singh and Pradip Bhattacharya submitted a joint letter to the panel chairman, saying as committee members they could not ignore the situation in Manipur, sources said.
