JAMMU, Mar 27: A scuffle broke out between Congress MLA Irfan Hafiz Lone and BJP MLA Yudvir Sethi in the J&K Assembly after Congress MLAs raised slogans against PM Modi. BJP MLA called Rahul Gandhi ‘Pappu’. Assembly adjourned briefly.
Deputy CM Surinder Kumar Choudhary said the conflict should end, welcomed PM Modi’s meeting with all Chief Ministers to take their opinions into account, and hoped it would produce positive results.
“We want the war to end. The Prime Minister has called a meeting so all Chief Ministers can be taken into confidence. This is a good step and we hope it yields results,” he said.
BJP MLA Surjit Singh Slathia said PM Modi’s diplomatic strategy has strengthened India, ensured 70 days’ gas and petrol supply, and accused some parties of spreading confusion.
“As far as saying PM Narendra Modi has surrendered, these people don’t even know that today, due to the PM’s diplomatic strategy, global economies are in decline. PM has provided gas and petrol for 70 days. Some parties and people want to spread confusion,” he said. (Agencies)
