Democracy killed in broad daylight; black day in India's history: Jagan Reddy

In an unprecedented move, live telecast of Parliament proceedings was stopped as the Lok Sabha passed the controversial bill that seeks to create a Telangana state by dividing Andhra Pradesh. The bill was passed unanimously, with the support of the main opposition BJP, but the party says it was not aware of the TV blackout. "The way the proceedings took place, it demonstrated how democracy can be killed. We are declaring a bandh in Andhra Pradesh tomorrow," said YSR Congress leader Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has been sitting on protest in Delhi.
