Opp stages walkout over Pak resolution on Guru in J-K Assembly

Condemning the resolution of the Pakistan National Assembly on the execution of Afzal Guru, Opposition parties today resorted to protests and staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
As the House assembled today, BJP, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) and Jammu State Morcha (JSM) MLAs stood up from their benches and held protests against the resolution.
Jugal Kishore, Ashok Khajuria of BJP, Harsh Dev Singh of KNPP and Ashwani Sharma of JSM brought the issue to the notice of Deputy Speaker, who was in chair, and demanded discussion over the issue and resolution against it.
"We condemn Pak resolution--Pakistan is interfering in the internal affairs of India, and by passing this resolution, it (Pakistan) has given its stamp of approval to the terrorist attack on Indian Parliament. This also indicates that Pakistan was behind that attack," Leader of BJP Legislative Party Ashok Khajuria said.

As Deputy Speaker Sartaj Mandi turned down their demand saying the matter cannot be discussed as it is a issue of another country, opposition members created uproar and later staged a walkout from the house.
Pakistan's parliament yesterday passed a resolution condemning the hanging of Afzal Guru and demanded the return of his body to his family.
Guru was hanged to death on February 9 after remaining on death row for about eight years.
