J&K assembly day 5: Uproar in House over special status resolution; BJP stages walkout

Srinagar, Nov 08: Chaotic scenes were witnessed in J&K legislative assembly on the fifth and last working day with PDP, PC and AIP MLAs entering into a scuffle with BJP legislators.

Soon after the house convened today morning, BJP legislators continued to make ruckus over the special status resolution passed by the assembly.

A scuffle took place after the BJP MLAs raised slogans like ‘separatist hai hai’ and ‘Algavaad nahi chalega’ while PC MLA Sajad Lone was displaying a copy of his resolution demanding restoration of Article 370 and Article 35 A in “original form”.

As the BJP MLAs continued to protest and attempted to storm in the well of the House, the speaker ordered that they be marshalled out.

As the majority of them were marshalled out, the rest of BJP lawmakers staged a walkout from the assembly.
