Agnipath protests derail Bihar House proceedings

THE Agnipath recruitment scheme for armed forces has emerged as the latest rallying point for the Opposition parties in Bihar. The state assembly’s proceedings were washed out on Monday, with a united Opposition forcing adjournments of the House thrice.

As soon as the House assembled for the day, members of the RJD, Congress and CPI(ML) stormed into the well demanding that the Speaker accept their adjournment motion to pave way for a discussion on the Agnipath scheme.

Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha rejected the demand saying the discussion could not be allowed as the issue was not related to the Assembly. Opposition members, however, shouted slogans, demanding rollback of the Agnipath scheme.
