Opposition stages walkout in Assembly

By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, NOV. 19. The Left Democratic Front today staged a walkout in the Assembly in protest against the Government's position on the issue related to the death of a Dalit youth soon after being released from police custody.

Though the Speaker, Mr. Vakkom Purushothaman, refused to grant leave to move a notice for an adjournment motion, he allowed the Janata Dal MLA, Dr. Neelalohithadasan Nadar, to raise the matter as a special case.

The Information Minister, Mr. M. M. Hassan, officiating for the Chief Minister, Mr. A. K. Antony, said the Dalit youth had died of cardiac arrest. Only a detailed examination of the viscera would reveal the exact nature of death.
