Opposition stage walkout in Goa assembly Panaji, Feb 17: The opposition members today staged a walk out from the state assembly condemning police "lethargy" in a case involving an attack on an elected representative in South Goa. The attack occurred last evening in which a local panchayat member (panch) was fired by unidentified gunmen. He is admitted to the Goa Medical College and is under critical condition. The issue figured in the assembly when BJP legislator Ramrao Desai raised concern over the declining law and order situation in the state. Desai was joined by his other colleagues, including Leader of Opposition Manohar Parrikar, who sought to know what action has been initiated by the police in the case. Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane replying on the floor of the House said culprits would be booked and punished. He said he would make a statement only after proper police inquiry is conducted into the incident. Not happy with the Chief Minister's reply, Opposition benches continued making noisy scenes on the floor of the House and later walked out condemning state government's inability to handle law and order situation in the state. -- "Dev Borem Korum".
