Cong MLA boycotts MP Assy

Bhopal, Mar 12 (UNI) Congress MLA Arif Akil today boycotted proceedings in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly following rejection of his demand for an immediate discussion on communal disturbances in the state's commercial capital Indore.

Raising the matter during Zero Hour, the ex-minister said, ''Communal tension-related incidents are recurring there. I have submitted a notice for an adjournment motion.'' Advising the member to meet him separately, Speaker Ishwardas Rohani urged Mr Akil to calmly take his seat but the MLA remained adamant, finally announced that he was boycotting proceedings and left the House.
