SRINAGAR : Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly (LA) was today adjourned without taking any question during the Question-Hour due to pandemonium. However, in between the Question-Hour, speaker Mubarak Gul allowed members of opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ruling National Conference (NC) to raise the issue of land grabbing in south Kashmir.
Immediately, after the House assembled all the opposition members were on their feet demanding that they should be allowed to raise some important issues. Speaker allowed PDP members to speak, including Deputy Speaker Sartaj Madni whose name also figured in the list of land grabbers in Anantnag.
