Naidu returns to House for debate on Left land stir

Hyderabad, July 25 (UNI) Leader of the Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu, who announced a boycott of the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly following the alleged ''objectionable'' remarks against him by Chief Minister Y S Rajasekara Reddy, today returned to the House after an apology from Dr Reddy.

The TDP leader had come to the House to take part in the debate on the Left Parties' stir on land to the poor.

Speaker K R Suresh Reddy adjourned the House to tomorrow due to insufficient time to complete the discussion.

Holding Dr Reddy's remarks as an insult to ''motherhood,'' the former chief minister had yesterday announced boycott of the rest of the session.

Maintaining he had not made any derogatory remarks against 'motherhood' during the discussion on the Obulapuram mining issue in the Assembly, Dr Reddy had yesterday said ''I have great respect for Mr Naidu's mother.

''If he (Mr Naidu) feels I have insulted his mother, I express regrets. I am tendering an unconditional apology.'' UNI
