| Madni takes Gul head on; Tarigami, Hakim lock horns with PDP MLAs | | | Bashir Assad
Srinagar, Aug 26; Amid ruckus in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly over the issue of general amnesty to around 600 youth allegedly involved in stone pelting, Deputy Speaker Sartaj Madni launched a scathing attack on Speaker's conduct proceedings of the house.
Madni was silently witnessing the uproar in the house (for about 40 minutes) on whether the Speaker should allow the adjournment motion moved by his party legislators seeking adjournment of the listed business for the day to discuss amnesty to the youth. However, when his party colleagues walked into the well of the house in protest against what they termed indecisiveness of the Speaker alleging that the chair was under pressure from the treasury benches. Soon Madni lost his cool and attacked the Speaker's conduct following which the House was adjourned for 10 minutes. "There is pandemonium in the house for 45 minutes.
They have raised an important issue. It is your discretion to allow or reject but you have to give a ruling. MLAs and ministers from that side (pointing towards treasury benches) are dictating to you," Madni charged.
Sartaj Madni while launching a scathing attack on Speaker's conduct of assembly proceedings said, "You are giving charge of the house to the members, which is against the honour and dignity of the chair." He said that Law Minister Mir Saifullah should not have spoken the way he did as he was Deputy Speaker of the entire House and not of a particular party. "There is no chair that can silence the voice of my conscience. You can keep it. I don't need it," Madni said. Madni was also furious of NC legislator, S S Salathia's remarks that PDP was creating a fuss and does not allow the legislators to raise the issues of public importance. Earlier CPI(M) legislator, M Y Tarigami and PDF legislator Hakim
Mohammad Yasin exchanged heated arguments with PDP members. The law minister, Mir Saifullah raised some points about the motion calling it as "ambiguous" which provoked the protesting PDP members. Tarigami said though he was in support of the motion, however, the way PDP was disrupting the proceedings of the House was not a healthy trend. Hakim went one step ahead saying PDP was doing politics over the issue and that they were not serious on the issue. Hakim who was asking a supplementary on Tarigami's question on relief to the hailstorm affected fruit growers launched a veiled attack on PDP alleging that substandard pesticides available in the market have played havoc with the fruit industry and those who manufacture these pesticides should be brought to the book.
Earlier, NPP members also came into the well oh House protesting against the alleged unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops towards Indian positions. The members later walked out raising anti-Pakistan slogans. |
