JK Assembly: Speaker allows discussion on civilian killings after Opposition’s protest

As soon as the Assembly began its day’s proceedings, all opposition members from National Conference, Congress, CPM and PDF along with ruling PDP members were on their feet demanding that entire House business should be suspended to take up their adjournment motion on unrest and killings. They were carrying placards in hands with slogans written.

It was virtually a din in the Assembly with opposition MLAs shouting slogans against the Government like ‘Qatil Sarkar Hai Hai (down with killer Government)’ and ‘Hisaab Do Hisaab Do, Maut Ka Hisaab Do (give answers to the killing)’

Though the Speaker tried to go ahead with the Question Hour, the voice was lost in the din with most of the opposition MLAs trooping on front row shouting slogans demanding discussion on Kashmir killings.

However, after a lot of uproar, Chief minister Mehbooba Mufti intervene and request the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta on to allow the opposition to the discussion on civilian killings in the Valley.

Later, after the Speaker’s decision allowing the discussion was communicated to them, the members sit in their seats.
