NEW DELHI :Opposition MPs from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Friday moved notices in the Rajya Sabha demanding a discussion on the Manipur Violence.

AAP MP Raghav Chadha and RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha gave suspension of business notice in the Upper House over the Manipur situation.

Chadha demanded discussion on the "breakdown of law and order in state of Manipur due to the failure of Central and State government."

The AAP parliamentarian in his notice wrote, "The violence in Manipur has resulted in loss of precious lives due to failure and incompetence of Central and State government."

In his notice, Tewari wrote, "I urge the Government to inform the House on the situation at the border with China, attempts made by it to mediate and settle the border dispute, and the policies introduced to preserve and protect India's integrity against possible Chinese aggressions."
