Lok Sabha stalled over Sri Lankan Tamils, Beni Prasad's remark

New Delhi, Mar 20 (ANI): The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Wednesday following an uproar over issues relating to Sri Lankan Tamils and Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma's remarks against Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.

As soon as the Lok Sabha met for the day, members from DMK, AIADMK and CPI trooped into the well of the House raising slogans against alleged atrocities on Tamils in Sri Lanka.

They were soon joined in the Well by SP members, who carried copies of press reports on Verma's comments on Yadav.

They shouted slogans seeking the Minister's removal. Amid the din, the Speaker adjourned the House till noon and later for the day.

Similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha too.

Verma on Monday hit back at Mulayam Singh Yadav after the latter demanded his sacking from the Union Cabinet.

"Who is Mulayam to ask for my removal? Has he made me the minister? He should apologise, for he has betrayed the nation," he told media here. Verma had earlier in a rally in his constituency of Gonda, around 200 kms from Lucknow, said that the Samajwadi Party chief has links with terrorists. He also alleged that Yadav was corrupt and a "dacoit". (ANI)

Is Beni PPrasad Verma right in accusing Mulayam Singh of harbouring dacoits and terrorists?

His exact words were "Samajwadi Party nahin, sirf Mulayam Singh Yadav kharab hai. Unka apradhik jeevan raha hai, aur aatankwadiyon se bhi unka rishta hai. Bahut jald Mulayam Tihar Jail janey ko taiyyar rahein. Mulayam zaher ka ghoont pe rahe hain, aur Congress ko samarthan de rahey hain, aur commission bhi kha rahey hain. (Not only the SP, even Mulayam is a bad person. He has a criminal background and relations with terrorists. Mulayam should be ready to go to Tihar Jail soon. He is extending support to Congress under compulsion, and also taking commission for this.)" He added: "Mulayam ne hamesha apney virodhiyon ko dushman ki tarah liya hai. Mulayam looterey key sath gundey bhi hain. (Mulayam treats his opponents as his enemy. He is a dacoit, a goon.),"

Beni is is the habit of often putting his foot in his mouth but this time he has hit the nail on the head.

Although both the Congress and the BJP would agree with him, political compulsions make the Congress ask Beni to apologise.

After all the DMK has just withdrawn support and the Congress would like to make up the the numbers so that it can continue to misrule the country for another year.

I have no such compulsions and so can agree with Beni wholeheartedly.

From the time when Mulayam embraced Phoolon Devi in his party, he is in the habit of taking in the unscrupulous and criminally minded people in his party.

When Mayawati sacked Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya, Mulayam, immediately took him in his party and made him the jail minister. What an irony? A criminal is made jail minister.

See, how he is now accused of killing DSP Zia-ul-Haque through his henchmen.

It is Mulayam Singh who has made Azamgarh a breeding place of terrorists by his blind support to Muslims just for their votes.
