Trinamool MPs protest against Amit Shah, stage walkout in Lok Sabha

New Delhi, Dec 1: The Trinamool Congress on Monday staged a walkout in the Lok Sabha seeking answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the recovery of a diary concerning the Sahara group, which allegedly mentions the name of BJP president Amit Shah.

Trinamool MPs came near the speaker's podium, carrying a red-coloured diary which had "Sahara" written on it and raised slogans of "Narendra Modi jawab do".

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, however, proceeded with the question hour.

"They (Trinamool MPs) have decided not to follow the rules," she said.

After protesting for a few minutes, the Trinamool MPs staged a walkout.

On Sunday, Amit Shah made a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress at a rally in Kolkata and alleged that the involvement of Trinamool leaders led to the proliferation of the Saradha chit fund scam.

Shah in his rally raised many questions including some on Burdwan blast and the Black Money scam. He said that the BJP would uproot TMC in West Bengal.
