J-K CM Omar Abdullah said that the resolution brought by PDP on Article 370 has no importance and that it was moved “only for the cameras”. He added that the House, and not just a member, will reflect and discuss the matter. Photo: Mubashir Khan/ GK

Reacting to the ruckus in assembly, J&K Peoples’ Conference (JKPC) president and MLA Handwara Sajad Gani Lone said, people should know that National Conference and BJP MLAs were together in opposing Article 370 resolution. Photo: Mubashir Khan/ GK

Referring to a campaign promise, he asserted that discussions on the issue should not be postponed, expressing disappointment in the lack of official recognition in the session’s initial agenda. Photo: Mubashir Khan/ GK

The opposition asked the speaker to trash the resolution proposed by PDP MLAs, however, the speaker said that he has not read or had been handed over anything yet. Photo: Mubashir Khan/ GK
