As the House met for the day, BJP MLAs raised slogans like ‘Pakistani agenda nahi chalega’. Some also jumped into the well of the House following which Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather directed that they be marshalled out.
Soon after they were evicted, 11 other BJP MLAs walked out of the House in protest. Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary had moved the resolution on Tuesday that said:
“This Legislative Assembly reaffirms the importance of the special status and constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and expresses concern over their unilateral removal.”
