Lucknow, Feb 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) The opposition Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party on Friday walked out of the Vidhan Sabha after Speaker Hriday Narain Dixit refused to allow a debate during Question Hour on "increasing atrocities on women" in the state.
As soon as the House assembled for the day, Congress members demanded the debate on the issue after suspension of rules and the SP members supported it.
