Angered by the analysis of the 2019 Lok Sabha election results as the victory of communal and majoritarian politics, BJP MLAs staged a walkout from a seminar of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) in the Rajasthan Assembly here on Thursday. BJP MLA Rajendra Rathore disrupted Prof. Hasan’s address and accused her of making an “ideological attack” on the ruling party at the Centre. The seminar, co-organised by CPA and Lokniti-CSDS, was devoted to the theme “Changing nature of parliamentary democracy in India”. When the BJP legislators did not relent, Mr. Joshi said those who were not willing to listen were free to leave the House. The BJP MLAs boycotted the seminar and staged a walkout.
