Srinagar: Chief Minister and Leader of the House Omar Abdullah said, “We knew that a member was preparing to bring a resolution but we thought he would do so after the speaker’s election, the LG’s address and obituary references. We are dealing with it right away.”
He said while he did not want to make a political speech, he had spoken at the outset with the hope that he was speaking on behalf of the entire House.
“This assembly reflects the sentiments of the people of J&K. The truth is that the people have not validated the decisions of August 5, 2019. Had that been the case, the results (of the assembly elections) would have been different.
“However, how to raise the issue and bring it on record will not be decided by one MLA. The resolution brought today has no value other than (that) it was done for the cameras,” he said.
“In the coming days, we will bring a proposal in consultation with you (Speaker),” he said, requesting the Chair to adjourn the House till the LG’s address.
The House then witnessed noisy scenes again between members of NC, PDP, People’s Conference (PC) and Awami Ittehad Party (AIP).
“I request new members to learn the rules. You have violated them on the very first day. I will not allow it, mind it,” the Speaker said before adjourning the House till 11.30 am.
