#RajyaSabha adjourns till noon amid opposition uproar over cow slaughter related incidents, farmers' issues. The BSP members immediately rushed into the Well shouting " Dalit virodhi yeh sarkar nahi chalegi, nahi chalegi" (anti-Dalit government will not be tolerated). Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said Mayawati was challenging the Chair.

Her party colleagues led by Satish Mishra followed her but were back in the House soon to raise slogans against the alleged anti-Dalit policies of the government. "I am going to resign from the House," she said and walked out in a huff. Refusing to budge, Mayawati said she had no right to be in the House if she cannot protect the rights of her community.

"I have no moral right to be in the House if I am not allowed to put across my views on atrocities being committed against Dalits," she said.Īsking her not to make a speech, Kurien told the BSP chief to seek a discussion after giving a notice under rule 267 that seeks adjournment of proceedings to take up an issue.
