NC sabotaged Waqf discussion in assembly: Sajad Lone

Srinagar, Apl 11: Peoples Conference (PC)  President and Handwara MLA Sajad Lone has launched a sharp attack on the National Conference (NC), accusing it of sabotaging a crucial discussion on the Waqf bill during the last three days of the Assembly session.

In a post on X, Lone wrote, “The model of democracy that we are following is the British Model. The British with all their expertise couldn’t invent a situation where a party can simultaneously be the ruling party and the opposition party. The NC attempted that impossible feat over the last three days of Assembly. They have a brute majority. More than 50 of them held the entire Assembly to ransom. An ugly blend of cacophony and cantankerousness ensured that the Assembly was repeatedly adjourned.”

He added that the MLAs in age groups of 40 to 50 to 60 to 70 years were merrily jumping around, climbing tables, making the Assembly resemble a Nursery school. They were shouting slogans, laughing, and whiling away time like Nursery goers.

“It was a free for all and scenes from the assembly resembled overgrown ugly uncles almost vandalising the assembly, shouting, sloganeering and being bad boys tearing to shreds any piece of paper they could lay their hands on and throwing them in the air,” Lone posted, reports KNS.
