| With President Pratibha Patil's address, the Budget Session of Parliament began today. Before her speech, members of the DMK, a senior partner in the UPA, shouted protests over Sri Lanka's aggressive attitude towards Indian fishermen. The President's reference, during her speech, to quotas, also provoked loud protests from members of the Opposition.
Here are the highlights of her speech in the Lok Sabha:
