The newly elected Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was marred with ruckus on first day after opposition MLA Wahid Parra of the People’s Democratic Party moved a resolution against the scrapping of Article 370.
The erstwhile state lost special status, and was bifurcated into two union territories, after the Narendra Modi-led Union government abrogated Article 370 in August 2019.
Soon after Parra started reading form the resolution, BJP’s lawmakers in the Assembly registered opposition. The Speaker, Rahim Rather of the ruling National Conference, however, said he had not admitted any resolution as yet.
