Patna, March 6: The Opposition RJD, BSP and the Left parties on Thursday walked out of the Bihar assembly to protest rejection of their notice of adjournment motion over presence of ‘sleazy’ content on the official website of the state government.

Noisy scenes were witnessed in the House when Speaker Uday Narain Chaudhary after reading out the notice given by RJD’s Shyam Rajak and others rejected it, saying it was not in order.

In the notice, Rajak had charged that the video diary section of the official website of the Bihar government--www.

Prd. Org.Bihar--to which he logged on on Wednesday , had obscene video clippings, “which is a matter of shame for all of us”.

The notice said the video diary section of the official website linked to a private site youtube.Com had some films on Bihar’s progress but also contained “sleazy clippings”.

As soon as the Speaker ruled that the notice was rejected Rajak, deputy leader of RJD in the House Shakeel Ahmed Khan and others were seen engaged in heated arguments with the chair.

In the continuing din, Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi described it as the handiwork of hackers, who linked the official website of the government to youtube.

“The government has not done anything to bring the state into disrepute. Similar elements had posted some obscene photographs of former Premier Indira Gandhi on the internet some time ago. Our computer programmers delinked the government website from the private website last evening,” he said.
