The trouble erupt between the Rasheed and Lone started when Shafi Uri started counting achievements of late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah which was confronted by the Er. Rasheed who accuses National Conference founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah for Kashmir debacle and the sufferings faced by the people of State today.
"If NC wants to take credit for some cosmetic work done by late Sheikh Sahib, let it not feel shy in confessing that NC leadership is responsible for creating Kashmir issue, as Sheikh Sahib went on changing his stands and made nation confusing and vulnerable," Rasheed said addressing opposition benches occupied by the NC members which infuriated NC leaders including Deputy Speaker Nazir Ahmed Gurazi.
As fight between Rasheed and Akbar Lone escalates, Deputy Speaker Nazir Gurazi who was holding proceedings of the house when incident took places accuses MLA Rasheed of creating nuisance in the house each time to which Er.

Former speaker Akbar Lone even hurled some derogatory remarks at Er Rasheed but this couldn't impress Rasheed who continue his venomous attacks on NC leadership. "While NC wants to take credit for leading revolt against Maharaja but should not forget that Sheikh became a conspirator and helped Maharaja in allowing India to grab Kashmir and got power in return" said Rasheed added that it was none other than late Sheikh Abdullah who surrendered his plebiscite movement in 1975 and shamelessly took over as CM on Congress's support, forgetting that he was not only PM of the J&K when removed from power but had also made Kashmiris to sacrifice everything from 1953 to 1975.
He added that it was NC which still preferred to have Omar Abdullah in Vajpayee's government despite the so-called Autonomy Resolution passed by Assembly was thrown into dustbin by the center added that NC is not sincere in even talking about very minor developmental issues and their one point agenda is to come back to power.
