As the House assembled this morning, PDP members, Mr A.R. Veeri, Mr Sartaj Madni, Mr Javed Mir, Mr Gaffar Sofi, Mr Syed Mohmd Husain and Ms Shanti Devi, stood up in their seats and shouted towards Speaker Tara Chand that the government had failed to table the investigation report of killing of Lone.

They raised a hue and cry over the issue. Oppostion NC members, particularly Mr Ali Mohmmad Sagar and Mr Mehboob Beig, raised points with the speaker that now it was the coalition partner PDP that was raising fingers at their own government.

“It is unseen in the history of legislature in Jammu and Kashmir that coalition members are grilling the government. As per their version, the Azad government has failed to address the issues of the PDP,” Mr Sagar said.

After that there was verbuel duel between NC and PDP members, while the Congress camp was watching as a mute spectator. There were noisy scenes in the House for nearly 30 minutes.

The PDP members marched to the well urging the Speaker to direct the government to table the lone report. Later the Speaker motivated them to take seats. They took the seats later.

Similarly, NC legislator Mir Saifullah staged a walkout over unsatisfactory reply to his call-attention motion by state Animal Husbandary Minister, Taj Mohideen over the issue of drought relief in his Kupwara Assembly constituency. — PTI
