Chandigarh, February 13: On the ongoing Budget Session in Punjab Assembly on Wednesday, SAD MLAs staged a walkout on the issue of caning of protesting teachers in Patiala.
AAP legislators also raised the issue.
Akali MLAs stormed into the Well of the House. They raised slogans against the government for lathicharge on teachers before staging a walkout.
Earlier, SAD MLA Bikram Majithia said the party would get an adjournment motion on the issue of harassment of schoolteachers on the roads of the state.
The Ludhiana gangrape case also echoed in the Assembly. The Opposition targeted the CM on the case.
AAP members also walked out of house on the issues of lathicharge on teachers, Ludhiana gangrape, and the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab.
AAP legislators said the Speaker should allow a debate on issues of employees.
Majithia said the Speaker had a flimsy excuse for not allowing an adjournment on the issue of teachers. They were told that this was not a serious issue, he claimed.
