Cong MLAs stage walkout in J-K assembly

Opposition Congress MLAs today staged a walkout in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly after the Speaker disallowed their adjournment motion to discuss the killing of innocent people in the state.

As soon as the house assembled, Congress members rose to their feet and demanded that the Speaker suspend the Question Hour and allow a discussion on the killing of innocent people in various incidents of violence in the state.

However, Speaker Kavinder Gupta disallowed the motion, triggering protests and sloganeering from the Congress MLAs. They later staged a walk out from the house.
