The J&K Assembly continued to witness uproar on the final working day of the ongoing session over the special status resolution.
As the session commenced on Friday morning, Peoples Democratic Party legislator Fayaz Mir attempted to display a banner in support of Article 370. People’s Conference MLA Sajad Lone and AIP’s Sheikh Khursheed backed the move, sparking protests from BJP lawmakers.
In the ensuing pandemonium, Khursheed was marshaled out of the House. Sajad Lone held up a copy of his resolution for the restoration of Article 370, which he had submitted on Thursday.
When National Conference legislator Javid Baig rose to speak on the Lieutenant Governor’s address, BJP lawmakers continued their protest against the special status resolution.
They demanded that the resolution be withdrawn and chanted slogans “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” “Pakistani agenda nahie chalega,” and “separatist agenda nahi chalega.”
As some BJP members attempted to storm the well, amid protests, they were marshaled out of the House. The remaining BJP legislators staged a walkout.
