Indian National Congress party demonstrators beat their chests in protest near the parliament in New Delhi, India. Angry opposition lawmakers called the prime minister a thief and shut down the Parliament on Wednesday as they demanded the government resign over a bribery scandal that was revealed by journalists with hidden cameras.
NEW DELHI - In 1987 an arms bribery scandal erupted in India, leading to the defeat two years later of the Congress government led by Rajiv Gandhi. Now, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) headed by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee faces a similar crisis. Late on Tuesday, Bangaru Laxman, president of the BJP, resigned after a local Internet site, Tehelka.com, showed video tapes in which he is seen purportedly accepting money to help two journalists claiming to represent a London-based arms manufacturing company, West End International.
