Opposition MPs staged a walkout from the Lok Sabha on 13 December 2022.

The Opposition protested against the government not allowing a discussion on the recent clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh.

The parliamentarians staged a walkout after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh gave a brief statement on the incident which occurred on 9 December 2022.

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Tuesday following opposition protests over the issue of clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh.

Indian and Chinese troops clashed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh on December 9 and the face-off resulted in "minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides", the Indian Army said on Monday.

The clash near Yangtse along the LAC in the sensitive sector took place last Friday amid the over 30-month border standoff between the two sides in eastern Ladakh.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will make a statement on the matter at 12 noon.

However, the opposition members did not relent and continued to protests and sought immediate discussion on the issue.
