Srinagar, Nov 6: Soon after the J&K Assembly passed the crucial resolution on restoration of special status, all 28 legislators of BJP staged a massive protest in the well of the House terming the government’s move as “treason and anti-national.”
“This is anti-national agenda. We reject the resolution,” BJP leaders shouted after storming into the Well of the House.
BJP leader Sham Lal Sharma climbed on the table in the Well of the House stating that it was the NC’s ploy since 1947 to play with the sentiments and emotions of the people of J&K.
“Yesterday, you were speaking some other language. Article 370 is final this political gimmick won’t do. From Sheikh Abdullah to Omar Abdullah, emotional blackmail of J&K has been a routine. Speaker must be independent and not side with any party,” Sharma said as BJP leaders shouted “Shame, Shame.”
Remaining in the well of the House, the BJP MLAs raised slogan, Jahan Huway Balidan Mukherji, wo Kashmir hamara hai, desh drohi agenda nahi chalega, Aug 5 Zindabad, Anti-national agenda nahi chalega, Bharat Mata ki Jai, Jai Shri Ram, Vanday Mataram”
The BJP LoP said that NC wants to change the name of Shakaracharaya Hills to Takht-e-Sulaimani. “This is their agenda. We will not allow it,” the BJP MLAs shouted by remaining in the Well of the House.
