PDP stages walkout from J&K Assembly

JAMMU :  Mainstream opposition Peoples Democratic Party today staged a walkout of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly alleging that the party legislators were not allowed to express their views in the House.
Shouting anti-government slogans, PDP legislators led by Leader of the Opposition Mehbooba Mufti, created uproar and staged a walkout alleging that the PDP members were not given sufficient time to raise certain issues and discuss the killing of a youth in Handwara firing yesterday.
PDP had moved adjournment motion to discuss Handwara youth death in a firing allegedly by the security forces.
Speaking to reporters outside the Legislative Assembly, Ms Mufti alleged that the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has lost his credibility.
“Situation in Kashmir would have been different if the Chief Minister had acted intelligently. No action has been initiated as yet against police or army in any of the previous incidents,” the PDP leader added.
Over 100 people were killed in 2010 in Kashmir but no action was taken so far, she said adding, “Mr Abdullah has failed on all fronts.”
She alleged that he had sacrificed so many things for the ‘chair’ adding,”he even did not spare his father (Farooq Abdullah) and skipped him for the chair.”
The PDP president said National Conference is habitual of ruling in such like situations adding, “whenever NC ruled the Chair, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir got worse.” (AGENCIES)
