Jammu, Apr 8: Speaker J&K Legislative Assembly Abdul Rahim Rather Tuesday adjourned the House for half an hour after absolute pandemonium prevailed yet again for the second consecutive day on Waqf Amendment Bill.Amid ruckus, Peoples Democratic Party’s Waheed ur Rehman Parra was also marshaled out after he tried to enter the well and got engaged in a heated argument with the Speaker who had disallowed his adjournment motion along with those of 24 other members. 25 MLAs, majority of whom were NC members, had moved fresh adjournment motions seeking discussion on the Waqf Amendment Bill.
They were up on their feet as soon as the House assembled for the day’s proceedings.However, the Speaker stated that he had already disallowed the notices on account of matter being subjudice. As NC members insisted for discussion and demanded that it (Act) should be undone, the Speaker said, “You cannot undo what the Parliament has done.
”NC’s Nazir Gurezi also argued with the Speaker stating that the matter was neither subjudice nor any petition was filed. “Why have you disallowed notices and why are you not allowing discussion?” he asked.The House also witnessed heated exchange of words between PDP members, AIP MLA Sheikh Khursheed and Peoples Conference’s Sajad Lone on one side and NC members on the other side over Chief Minister’s Tulip Garden picture with the Union Minister Kirlen Rijiju.
They dubbed NC as “BJP agent.”BJP’s Pawan Gupta and Rajiv Jasrotia briefly held dharna in the well demanding resumption of Question Hour.As ruckus persisted, the Speaker adjourned the House for half an hour at 10.
