Tempers reached a boiling point in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Thursday as BJP members vociferously protested against a resolution regarding the state's special status.
The unrest began as the House convened, fueled by the passage of a resolution seeking the restoration of the erstwhile state's special provisions. The resolution prompted BJP opposition, eventually leading to disruptions and a temporary adjournment by Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather.
Despite the adjournment, BJP members persisted in their protests. The resolution, introduced by JK Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, emphasizes the significance of constitutional guarantees, urging dialogue with the central government to restore the region's special status in a manner that respects national integrity and the people's aspirations.
