JAMMU: Opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir today staged a walkout from the Assembly alleging that the State Government was not serious about discussing the Kashmir unrest as Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who was scheduled to speak on the issue, had left for Srinagar.
Soon after the House met for the day, opposition leader Omar Abdullah said, “I have come to know that the Chief Minister, who was scheduled to speak today, has left for Srinagar. This shows that the Government is not serious on discussing the Kashmir unrest and there is no reason to sit in the House.”
He said the Chief Minister was not serious towards the house and the Opposition, “then why are we wasting our time here”.
Opposition National Conference (NC) and Congress then staged the walkout.
Congress MLC Usman Majid alleged that the Government was not serious about the discussion on the Kashmir unrest.
Speaker Kavinder Gupta informed the House that the Chief Minister would reply on the discussion on Kashmir unrest in the next sitting after the Question Hour.
The House was later adjourned for the day.(AGENCIES)
