Assembly adjourned sine die after noisy scenes
Srinagar, August 31 The three members of the Panthers Party, which has already withdrawn its support to the ruling coalition, were asked by deputy speaker, Mohammad Akbar Lone, to take their seats after removing the gowns. They refused to do so and continued their protest against Harshdev’s suspension. At this, Lone ordered marshals to evict the members, which led to the scuffle between the marshals and the protesting members who were also joined by a few National Conference members. All three members, Balwant Singh Mankotia, Faqir Nath and Yashpaul Kundal, demanded the Chair to immediately revoke Harshdev’s suspension, as it was the last day of the session.
