Chaos in J&K Assembly: BJP MLAs and Engineer Rashid’s Brother Ejected

Ruckus in J&K assembly again; BJP MLAs, Engineer Rashid’s brother marshalled out

The Jammu and Kashmir assembly saw continued disruptions for a third day as Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs raised slogans against Article 370 and special status resolution.

However, on the directions of Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather, at least 15 BJP MLAs were marshalled out of the House after they stormed into the well. Earlier, Awami Ittehad Party MLA Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh, brother of Baramulla Lok Sabha MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid, was marshalled out from the House.

As the House proceedings convened on Friday, People’s Conference chief and Handwara MLA Sajad Lone, along with People’s Democratic Party’s Pulwama MLA Waheed Para, displayed a poster calling for the restoration of Article 370.

This infuriated BJP members, who stood on the tables and began protesting. Meanwhile, Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh stormed to the well in support of the MLAs but was marshalled out of the House.

On Thursday, the assembly was adjourned for the day following a clash between BJP MLAs and marshals, with BJP members protesting a resolution to restore the former state’s special status for the second consecutive day.
