As Oppn uproots mike, tables, J&K Council adjourned sine die

Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council was today adjourned sine die seven days ahead of schedule as Opposition created ruckus inside the House by uprooting furniture and mikes seeking clarification from Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti over her remark on Article 370.
As the Assembly sitting began, Opposition National Conference and Congress MLCs demanded a statement from the Chief Minister clarifying her stand on Article 370, which provides special status to the state.
Mehbooba had on January 30 said in the Lower House that anybody weakening Article 370 will be doing the "biggest anti-national act".
The Opposition demand of a statement from the Chief Minister was opposed by Education Minister Naeem Akhter who urged the Chairman to continue with the Question Hour.

All the Opposition members then trooped into the Well, threw chair, files and papers amid protests and uproarious scenes for over half an hour.
Some of the files flung by a Congress member fell on the table of the Chairman, a scene not unseen in the past.
Chairman of the Council Haji Inayat Ali adjourned the House for five minutes and when it reassembled, Opposition members uprooted the tables and pushed them into the Well, pulled up mikes and created ruckus.
After passage of the Budget and some Bills through voice vote, the Chairman announced adjournment of the House sine die, a week ahead of its scheduled business calendar.
