Assembly Chaos as PDP MLAs Submit Article 370 Restoration Resolution; BJP Demands Dismissal

Assembly session in Jammu and Kashmir turns chaotic as PDP MLA Waheed Para submits Article 370 restoration resolution, prompting BJP's protest for immediate dismissal.

Article 370

The first day of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly session erupted in chaos when PDP MLA Waheed ur Rehman Para submitted a resolution to restore Article 370. As Para presented the resolution, calling for the reinstatement of J&K's special status, BJP MLAs voiced their opposition, demanding that the resolution be dismissed immediately.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti praised Para’s efforts, stating she was proud of his move to bring the resolution to the Assembly. Meanwhile, Speaker Rather, while attempting to calm the tension, assured the BJP members that he would review the resolution before making a decision.

Despite this, BJP legislators refused to sit, insisting that the resolution be discarded immediately. BJP leader LoP Sharma expressed frustration, arguing that such a resolution should not have been introduced on the first day of the session.

In another incident, People’s Conference leader Sajjad Lone took a jibe at J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, referencing Abdullah’s recent gesture of gifting Kashmiri shawls to PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Omar Abdullah criticized the resolution, calling it a move for publicity without genuine consultation, adding that the people of J&K had yet to approve of the 2019 revocation of Article 370.

The Assembly, convening at 10:30 am, was eventually adjourned within an hour, prior to the Lieutenant Governor’s address at 11:30 am.
