Jammu & Kashmir: At least 15 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members, including Langate MLA Sheikh Khurshid, were on Friday marshalled out of the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly as they attempted to protest in the well of the House. 

Soon after the speaker evicted the leaders, 11 other BJP MLAs walked out of the House in protest.

The House has been witnessing uproar for the last two days as BJP MLAs have been protesting vociferously after the resolution to restore the special status passed by an overwhelming vote on Wednesday, November 6. 

‘Remove them away…’

The BJP members had jumped into the well, grabbed the papers, and tore them into pieces, causing the speaker to marshall them out. 

“Remove them away…,” J&K Assembly‘s newly elected speaker Abdul Rahim Rather could be heard repeating, ordering for the BJP leaders to be rushed out, according to the visuals released by ANI

When the House met for the day in the morning, the BJP MLAs raised slogans like ‘Pakistani agenda nahi chalega.’ Amid the chaos, the speaker adjourned the proceedings for 15 minutes. 

Following the adjournment, the MLAs continued to protest, even after Rahim Rather requested them to take their seats.

J&K Assembly ruckus: The story behind

After the resolution seeking the restoration of the erstwhile state’s constitutional special status was passed on Wednesday, the Assembly urged the Centre to begin discussions with elected representatives from the region to restore Jammu and Kashmir‘s special status and constitutional guarantees and establish the necessary constitutional mechanisms for this purpose.

“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,” PTI quoted Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary as saying.

J&K Assembly

Today’s episode marks the third day that the Assembly has witnessed chaos and bedlam, paralysing the proceedings. 

On November 7, the Assembly erupted into chaos after Engineer Rashid’s brother and MLA Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh displayed a banner on Article 370, the provision granting special status to the erstwhile state abolished in August 2019.

According to the order, deputy chief minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary will hold the charge of Public Works (R&B), Industries and Commerce, Mining, Labour and Employment, and Skill Development, PTI reported.

The lone woman minister — Sakeena Masood (Itoo) has been assigned the charge of important ministries of Health and Medical Education, School Education, Higher Education, and Social Welfare.

She was the Social Welfare minister during Abdullah’s first tenure as the CM in the erstwhile state.

Javed Ahmed Rana has been allocated the departments of Jal Shakti, Forest, Ecology & Environment, and Tribal Affairs.

Javid Ahmad Dar will be the minister for Agriculture Production, Rural Development & Panchayati Raj, Cooperative, and Election.

Satish Sharma has been assigned the charge of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Transport, Science and Technology, Information Technology, Youth Services and Sports and ARI and Trainings.

The order said any other departments/subjects not allocated to any of the ministers, shall remain with the chief minister.

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah was sworn in as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, the first elected government in the union territory since the 2019 abrogation of Article 370.

National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Thursday expressed hope that the Centre would soon restore the statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

“We have raised the issue of (restoration of) statehood before as well. Today, the Supreme Court has said it will be listed soon. I am hopeful that the Government of India will soon restore the statehood,” Abdullah added.

The government will work on achieving what is in the (NC’s) manifesto, address the problems of the people, take J-K on the path of peace and progress “so that we make this state better”, he said.

“There is huge unemployment and it is important to end that. Traffic has to be managed. Our people who ride scooters, do not wear helmets, that needs to be seen. The corruption will be taken care of,” he added.
