Opposition space
As India undergoes another monumental electoral exercise, the spotlight intensifies on the condition of its democratic institutions, particularly the role and effectiveness of the opposition.
Opposition National Conference (NC) and Congress MLAs agitating against the alleged assault on two Kashmiri students in Haryana, walked out of the state Assembly on Thursday.
The agitating MLAs stood up immediately after the House met for the day.
The opposition demanded the House pass a resolution seeking an order from the President to ensure the protection of local students and businessmen outside the state.
