SRINAGAR, Oct 10:
The 10-day autumn session of the Legislative Assembly came to an end today as the Speaker Mohammad Akbar Lone adjourned the House sine die.
As Lone was announcing the adjournment of the Assembly sine die at the conclusion of the day’s listed business, opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members staged a walkout.
The PDP MLAs walked out in protest as the Government did not make a statement as to how it had given two contradictory answers to the same question submitted by its members Peerzada Mansoor Hussain and Zulfikar Ali in the assembly.
Barring one incident, the autumn session of the Assembly passed off smoothly without any major fireworks that have been seen over the past few years.
Three activists of a newly-floated political party created a flutter in the Assembly by jumping into the members’ area on Monday as they raised slogans demanding implementation of employment policy in the State.
The LPG crises in the State, caused by the Centre’s decision to put a cap on number of subsidised cylinders, and recent killing of Panchayat members and empowerment of Panchayati Raj institutions dominated the session. (PTI)
