SRINAGAR: Opposition, including National Conference (NC) and Congress, today created ruckus in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, alleging that the prices of essential commodities have gone up many folds since the NDA Government came to power at the Centre.
As soon as Speaker Kavinder Gupta entered the House, all members from Opposition Congress and NC were on their feet, demanding a discussion on the rapid increase in the prices of essential commodities, including vegetables and pulses.
Raising slogans ‘Modi tere Acche din, baki sab ke bure din’, ‘Modi aapke raj mei, ‘Rashan pani mehanga hai’, the members continued their protest, though the Speaker repeatedly asked them to resume their seats and allow the Question Hour.
As the Speaker didn’t allow a debate on the issue, the members from NC and Congress tried to storm into the Well of the House. However, they were stopped by marshals . The Members continued shouting slogans and alleged that it was the first time that MLAs were not allowed into the Well of the House.
Meanwhile, Law Minister Abdul Haq Khan said the government was ready to answer any question asked by the opposition. “We are happy that the opposition is bringing questions they think are important for the public interest.
The Government is ready to answer any question,” Mr Haq said. NC member Ali Mohammad Sagar was quick to respond to Mr Haq, however nothing was audible as the Opposition continued shouting slogans. As the discussion was not allowed, the opposition members later staged a walkout from the House. (UNI)
