India today out with a strong message that "external powers" cannot decide the regime change in Libya after a strong demand was made in the Lok Sabha that the House unanimously pass a resolution condemning allied airstrikes on that country.

The House saw an impromptu discussion on the issue when SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav raised it with almost all members ranging from the Left to the BJP condemning the air strikes on Libya by the US-led allied forces.

At the same time, they expressed their support to those striving for democracy in the north African oil-rich nation ruled for over four decades by Col. Muammar Gaddafi.
