This is real Assembly not the one inside: R S Pathania
TDD Correspondent
Srinagar, (TDD) Minutes after the BJP MLAs were marshalled out of the Assembly for creating ruckus over special status resolution, all the 28 MLAs of BJP Friday staged a parallel Assembly in the laws of LA complex Srinagar where party leader Sham Lal Sharma acted as the “Speaker of the House” and other members could be seen speaking the way they speak in the real House.
Sitting in a Circle in the lawns of Assembly complex Srinagar, BJP leader Sham Lal Sharma sat on a Chair to look like the Speaker of the House while as other BJP MLAs spoke one by one as if “real assembly was going on.” Media captured the BJP legislators holding parallel Assembly. “The NC wants bloodshed in Kashmir again. I want to thank Speaker Abdur Rahim Rather for allowing us to hold this real Assembly,” he said.
Sham Lal Sharma said now he calls upon BJP MLA R S Pathania to speak. “This the real Assembly, not the one that is inside. We came here to raise the people’s issues but we saw business being changed. We came here to speak at the LG’s address but we saw a resolution on special status,” he said. Pathania said that before bringing any resolution, 15 advance notice is supposed to be given to the members of the House. Other members of the BJP spoke one by one giving an impression that a parallel Assembly was going on. Pertinently, today’s development comes first time where BJP MLAs who are 28 in number were seen holding a parallel Assembly—(TDD)
