Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was adjourned sine die on Friday after the House passed the Motion of Thanks on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s address.
The Assembly met for a five-day session on Monday, the first since the developments of August 5, 2019, when the erstwhile state was bifurcated into Union territories and its special status revoked. It witnessed chaotic scenes since Wednesday, disrupting its proceedings.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members staged vociferous protests since the passage of a resolution moved by the ruling National Conference (NC), seeking a dialogue between the Centre and elected representatives from the region for the restoration of the erstwhile state’s special status.
The House was witnessing uproar for the last two days as BJP MLAs protested vociferously after the passage of the resolution.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary moved the resolution on Wednesday that said: “This Legislative Assembly reaffirms the importance of the special status and constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and expresses concern over their unilateral removal.”
On the final day of the session, the Assembly passed the Motion of Thanks on the LG’s address and subsequently, the House was adjourned sine die by speaker Abdul Rahim Rather.
