Parliamentarians almost come to blows, again

Tara Shankar Sahay in New Delhi

In a replay of Thursday's incident, agitated Opposition and Bharatiya Janata Party members clashed outside Parliament, near the main gate, on Friday but security personnel kept them at an arm's length.

Trouble started when Opposition members, led by Renuka Chowdhary of the Congress, screamed slogans at the BJP members, which was loudly responded to by Sisram Ravi of the BJP, a Lok Sabha MP.

The BJP members shouted, 'Bofors ke dalalon ko joota maron saloo ko' and 'Sonia Gandhi ki saazish nahin chalegi, nahi chalegi'.

The Opposition members led by the Congress kept saying, 'Vajpayee sarkar vapas jaao, Atal Bihari gaddi chhodo'.

Security personnel even requested the MPs by folding their hands to go back but they did not listen.

Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav pointed out that the government had become shameless, which is why it was clinging to power. However, the people would rally together to boot it out from positions of power.
