The first day of the newly elected Jammu and Kashmir Assembly saw ruckus over an impromptu resolution – introduced by opposition MLA Wahid Parra of the People’s Democratic Party – against the scrapping of Article 370. The former state lost special status, and was bifurcated into two union territories, after the BJP-led centre’s contentious move in August 2019.
BJP’s lawmakers in the J&K Assembly today opposed Mr Parra’s resolution, and the Speaker, Rahim Rather of the ruling National Conference, said he had not admitted any resolution as yet.
