Chaos In J&K Assembly's 1st Session In 6 Years Over Article 370 | Read

There was ruckus in the newly elected Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Monday morning - as it held its first sitting in six years - after People's Democratic Party lawmaker Wahid Parra tabled an impromptu resolution against the scrapping of Article 370 in August 2019.

Bharatiya Janata Party lawmakers opposed Mr Parra's resolution, even as the Speaker, Rahim Rather of the ruling National Conference, said he had not admitted any resolution as yet.

The BJP-led centre revoked Article 370 five years ago, in a contentious move marked by furious protests. This removed special status and split the former state into two union territories.
