New Delhi:
A Bahujan Samaj Party member today left the Lok Sabha as the national song was being played to mark the sine die adjournment of the Budget Session of Parliament, prompting an angry rebuke from Speaker Meira Kumar.
"One honourable member walked out when
Vande Mataram was being played. I take very serious view of this. I would want to know why this was done. This should never be done again," Ms Kumar said.
Shafiqur Rahman Barq, BSP member from Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, was seen walking out of the House as
Vande Mataram was being played with all members standing in attention.
