SRINAGAR : The Peoples Democratic Party and BJP coalition government had to face an awkward situation in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly (LA) today when some members of the BJP stormed into Well of the House, alleging that directions and assurance were not being fulfilled and wrong answers given to their questions.
Meanwhile, a BJP MLA from Kathua, Rajeev Jasrotia walked out from the House in protest against the Government’s failure to construct a stadium at Kathua.
Taking the advantage of protest by BJP, opposition National Conference (NC), Congress and an independent member from Udhampur also joined the issue, raised slogans and criticised the government.
As the Question-Hour was in progress, four to five members from the BJP raised slogans alleging that the directions and assurance by the Government were not being fulfilled.
The members alleged that direction from the House were not being followed and assurance by the government not fulfilled. They further alleged that wrong answers are being given to their questions.
They later stormed into the Well of the House, ”what was the use of attending the House when directions and assurance are not being fulfilled”, the members were heard saying.
The NC, Congress and independent member from Udhampur Pawan Kumar Gupta were also on their feet, supporting the agitated BJP Members.
”You are not fulfilling the assurance of your own members. What will happen to opposition members, Ali Mohammad Sagar of NC said. Jasrotia alleged that he was promised that a stadium will be constructed at Kathua but nothing has been done so far. He later walked out from the House in protest.
However, Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh intervened and said that sports in Jammu and Kashmir has been ignored during the past 57 years. He informed the House that a comprehensive policy will be made to develop infrastructure and other facilities for improvement of sports in the state.
” We will approach Centre for sanction of a stadium in every district”, he said. (AGENCIES)
