Jammu, Jan 2, CNS: Scenes of uproar and disruption were Monday witnessed inside the central hall of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly where Governor NN Vohra addressed the joint session of both the houses of state legislators.
As soon as Governor NN Vohra arrived inside assembly, all the legislators from opposition National Conference, Congress supported by others stood up and raised anti-government slogans.
The angry legislators tried to storm on the dice from where Governor Vohra was addressing. The protesting members condemned the killings of innocent persons during Kashmir uprising post the killing of Hizb Commander Burhan Wani on July 8 last.
The members shouted slogans, “PDP ka badlav kya , boli sai nahi goli sai”.
Independent Law maker Er Rasheed displayed the poster demanding holding of plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir.
The members also demanded punishment to guilty persons involved in killing of people.
Unhappy with the Opposition members’ behaviour, Governor Narinder Nath Vohra cut short his speech amid pandemonium in House and left the Assembly.
BJP leader Ravinder Raina demanded an apology from National Conference, Congress and Governor for allegedly insulting the national anthem in J&K Assembly.
“NC and Congress created ruckus in the Assembly even when national anthem was played. The Governor also walked away, it’s a grave insult to the nation,” Raina said.
Earlier the PDP and National Conference legislators exchanged heating arguments inside the House while opposition members raised hubbub throughout the proceedings.
Some opposition members strongly objected to the presence of marshals in the central hall of the legislature before the governor’s address. “This is not a prison,” shouted M Y Tarigami and others while lodging their protest against the move. Tarigami alleged that government wants to turn Assembly into a garrison as it has done in Kashmir. (CNS)
