Chandigarh, February 20: SAD-BJP MLAs on Wednesday staged a walkout in the Punjab Assembly after a resolution moved by them declaring Pakistan as a terrorist state was rejected.
SAD MLA Parminder Dhindsa had raised the issue saying the party wanted to move the issue of terror attack in Kashmir in a new perspective.
Addressing the media outside the House, Dhindsa said the people were looking to the Congress government to take a nationalist stand.
The resolution was against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, condemning his statement made on Tuesday.
Dhindsa said Congress ministers Charanjit Singh Channi and Sukhjinder Randhawa stalled the resolution, which exposed their double standards on taking a nationalist stand.
He wondered why CM Capt Amarinder Singh should object to the resolution, in contrast to the “ultra-nationalist” stand taken by him in public.
Earlier, AAP MLAs also staged a walkout during Question Hour as they were not satisfied with the government’s reply on the issue of proclaimed offenders.
Soon after the session began, AAP legislators went into the Well of the House and raised slogans.
