Privilege motion against former Army Chief in J&K Assembly

 SRINAGAR :  The ruling National Conference (NC)  today submitted a privilege motion against former Chief of  the Army (CoA) General V K Singh in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly for his revelations that the Army has been paying  money to politicians in the state since 1947.

 

   However, the lone member of the Communist Party of India  CPI(M) Mohammad Yousuf Targami suggested that a resolution  be moved by all members of the House, demanding the Centre to  order a thorough probe into these revelations.

   Speaker Mubarak Gul informed the House that he has  received a motion against General Singh from the NC.

   But, he said, he will take a decision only after going  through the motion.

   About a proper debate in the House as demanded by  the members, Mr Gul said business advisory committee will  also take a decision on this.
