Trinamool Congress members in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday staged a walkout in protest against some remarks made by Minister of State of Railways Suresh Angadi.

Soon after Railways Minister Piyush Goyal responded to a discussion on working of the Ministry of Railways, Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien lodged his protest against the remarks made by the junior minister.

Earlier speaking during the discussion, Angadi said, "I have been to West Bengal, it is very unfortunate that there are encroachments on both sides of the (railway) tracks by unauthorised persons whether national...or from other states, other countries, we don't know."
