On Tuesday, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were rocked by the issue with the Opposition staging a walkout after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh made a statement in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the Tawang clash. โ€œA total of 17 parties attended todayโ€™s meeting and decided to raise the issue for discussion if not allowed it has been decided that parties will walk out from the house,โ€ a leader who participated in the meeting told ANI.

The Opposition, the participant said, has also decided that if a discussion is not allowed, they will boycott the House.

The meeting was held in Congress chief Mallikarjun Khargeโ€™s chambers to plan the Opposition strategy on India -China tussle and other issues in the House.

Speaking in both Houses separately, the Defence Minister informed that the โ€œIndian Army bravely stopped the Chinese Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army (PLA) PLA troops from encroaching on Indian territory, and forced them to withdraw to their postsโ€.
