Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta on Wednesday revoked the suspension of two National Conference MLAs.
The suspension of four National Conference members had prompted the opposition leaders to boycott the ongoing session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
Former chief minister Omar Abdullah had earlier today said that the protests by the National Conference would continue till the suspension of all the four members is revoked.
"Four members of NC were suspended. Two MLAs were suspended in the Assembly and two in the Council. The suspension of members suspended in the assembly has been revoked but the Council suspension is yet to be revoked. Other opposition members have also joined us in the protest," Omar told ANI here.
"Now, we will wait for the chairman of the Upper House to rectify his mistake and revoke the suspension on the NC members," he added.
