Srinagar, Nov 6: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said the Assembly has done its job after it passed a resolution seeking a dialogue between the Centre and elected representatives for the restoration of the special status of the erstwhile state.
This Assembly emphasises that any process for restoration must safeguard both national unity and the legitimate aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the resolution added.
BJP members, including the Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, opposed the resolution, saying it was not part of the listed business.
“We reject the resolution. The Business given to us was that the discussion is on the Lieutenant governor’s address,” he said.
As the BJP members continued to raise slogans against the resolution, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather said put it to voice vote and it was passed amidst the din.
As soon as the resolution was passed, the BJP members stormed the well of the House.
The Speaker then adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
However, after the House met again, it continued to witness a ruckus, forcing the speaker to adjourn it for an hour.
