Jammu, Feb 3 || The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly witnessed a pandemonium on Tuesday as several legislators from both Treasury and Opposition benches protested over key issues.
Two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs walked out of the Assembly over what they called an ‘unsatisfactory response from the Omar Abdullah government’ while the ruling National Conference (NC) MLAs sat on a ‘dharna’ in the Assembly premises to protest against attacks on Kashmiris outside the UT and for the restoration of statehood.
BJP MLAs, Rajiv Jasrotia and Pawan Gupta, staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, expressing their dissatisfaction with the responses provided by the government on issues raised during the proceedings.
Jasrotia walked out after receiving what he described as “unsatisfactory and evasive answers” from the government side. Following this, another BJP MLA, Pawan Gupta from Udhampur, also joined the protest and walked out of the house in solidarity with his party MLA.
Meanwhile, ruling NC MLAs sat on a protest outside the House against attacks on Kashmiris outside J&K and for the restoration of statehood.
