Demand in Lok Sabha for resolution on air strikes

A strong demand that Lok Sabha should unanimously pass a resolution condemning airstrikes on Libya by allied forces was made by several parties with the government saying it had already expressed unhappiness over the action.

SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav raised the issue which led to an impromptu discussion with almost all members ranging from the Left to the BJP condemning the air strikes on Libya by the US-led allied forces.

At the same time, they expressed their support to those striving for democracy in the north African oil-rich nation ruled for over four decades by Muammar Gaddafi.
