The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly is currently embroiled in a major uproar over the recently introduced Waqf Amendment Bill. The controversy stems from the passage of the bill in Parliament, which was anticipated by the BJP. Sunil Sharma, the Leader of the Opposition, had previously made it clear that he would strongly oppose the bill in the assembly, and his words came to fruition today. The session, which began at 10 AM, saw National Conference members and other legislators calling for an amendment motion. This led to intense opposition from the BJP, with all its members standing firm, insisting that the agenda should first focus on the amendment motion. The debate quickly escalated, resulting in a standoff between the BJP and the National Conference members. The Speaker attempted to defuse the situation by seating both parties, but the National Conference's demand for an amendment motion was not granted right away. The BJP, on the other hand, made it clear that the Waqf amendment bill had not only passed in Parliament but had also been endorsed by the Prime Minister and the President. Despite this, the National Conference's resistance continues, further intensifying the political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir. With both sides refusing to budge, the situation remains unresolved, and tensions in the assembly continue to rise. This ongoing standoff highlights the deepening political divide in the region, with both the BJP and National Conference digging in their heels over the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill. The situation has created an atmosphere of uncertainty, and it remains to be seen how this conflict will evolve in the coming days.

00:00There is a huge commotion in the Jammu and Kashmir Parliament right now.
00:03This is a commotion regarding the law that has been made.
00:12I am not blaming anyone for that.
00:14But listen to me first.
00:16You speak from here and there.
00:18There is nothing to listen to.
00:20Now, I have, excuse me,
00:24an ad hoc motion from Naam Amitabh Bachchan.
00:29The ad hoc motion has been made.
00:32And an important issue has been discussed.
00:35The people who are present here,
00:37who have given us this motion,
00:39their names are Atta Haroon,
00:42Qaiser Jamshed Noor,
00:44Qaiza Zaan,
00:46Sajjad Shaheen,
00:48Tamil Sadiq,
00:50Mehraj Ibn Malik,
00:52Nizamuddin Barth,
00:54Muzaffar Iqbal,
00:56and Sheikh Farshid Ahmed.
00:58We know recently,
01:00in the Parliament,
01:02in the Bakkhan Amendment Bill,
01:04the law has been made.
01:07This is an important issue.
01:39Qaiser, you will listen to me.
01:53You have heard what I have to say.
01:55Qaiser, you have heard what I have to say.
01:57Whatever you have been speaking,
01:59you have not been listening to me.
02:01Now, the motion that you have given us,
02:03the motion that you have given us,
02:05that motion that I am giving you,
02:07has been passed by the people
02:09This amendment bill, as I said, has been assented to by the President.
02:16That's why it doesn't come out.
02:18That is what I am saying.
02:20Listen to me.
02:22About this, the notice that has come,
02:25you have to enter it.
02:29And by entering it,
02:31it means that the business that comes to your house,
02:35for discussion,
02:37I will take you directly.
02:39Our colleague Ajay Bajtlu is present with us right now.
02:41Let's understand this from Ajay Bajtlu.
02:43Ajay, this time, to bring a motion against the law,
02:48there is a commotion in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
02:50Yes, absolutely.
02:52Look, yesterday itself, Tanvir Sadiq, the Vice President of the National Conference,
02:56had made it clear that he will bring an adjournment motion against the time bill.
03:01And the BJP knew about this yesterday itself.
03:03And the Leader of the Opposition, Sunil Sharma,
03:06he had told ABP News yesterday itself
03:08that he will speak in the Assembly on the front foot against this bill.
03:12And that is what has happened today.
03:14As soon as the Assembly started at 10 o'clock,
03:16the National Conference and other Ministers
03:19spoke about bringing an adjournment motion,
03:21which was opposed by the BJP there.
03:23And the BJP staff, all the Ministers of the BJP,
03:25stood in their respective places and said
03:28that the first question should be
03:30that the National Conference and its co-Ministers
03:32were standing on this point
03:34that the first thing should be an adjournment motion.
03:36So, there was so much commotion in between
03:38that not only the BJP and the Ministers
03:42had a heated debate in the National Conference,
03:44but also the Ministers of the National Conference reached the well
03:49and spoke to the Speaker about bringing an adjournment motion.
03:52Somehow, the Speaker made the Ministers of the National Conference and the BJP
03:57sit in their respective places.
03:59But even after that, there was no commotion.
04:02The Ministers of the National Conference
04:04were present in their respective places.
04:07And even now, in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly,
04:10there is a commotion over the adjournment motion.
04:14Yes, we can see in the pictures that there is a commotion
04:17and a strong protest is being held here.
04:21It looks like the Ministers are coming here
04:23in preparation to enter the well.
04:25What is happening here in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly?
04:28Can I talk to him?
04:30Raman, can you repeat the question?
04:33It looks like the Ministers are coming here in preparation to enter the well.
04:37How is this commotion increasing here?
04:41Look, the commotion is continuously increasing
04:44because the National Conference had already held a meeting
04:47and said that the time is not in the support of the bill.
04:50So, in such a situation,
04:52because the main politics of the National Conference is in Kashmir,
04:56so in such a situation,
04:58to address the constitution,
05:00such a bill is coming to the House.
05:04But the BJP has already made it clear
05:06that this bill has not only been passed by the Parliament,
05:10but the Prime Minister has also signed it.
05:14And now this law has been made.
05:16So, in such a situation, the commotion is increasing.
05:19Along with this, Raman, let me tell you one more thing
05:21that in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly,
05:23four private member resolutions have been brought
05:25in which it has also been said to vote on the statehood.
05:29So, now the statehood and the bill,
05:31somewhere in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly,
05:34the commotion will not be seen on these two issues.
05:38Because yesterday, Amit Shah,
05:40who has taken a meeting in Jammu and Kashmir of the BJP ministers,
05:43and he has clearly told the BJP ministers
05:46that they should not back down on these two issues
05:48and that they should not fall on the front foot.
05:51Because whether it is a matter of statehood,
05:54whether it is a matter of time,
05:56the time bill has now become a law.
05:58Whereas on statehood, in the Parliament,
06:00and the Prime Minister has said many times
06:03that soon Jammu and Kashmir will be given the status of a state.
06:07So, in such a situation,
06:08there is no point in discussing these two things in the Assembly.
06:13So, this is the reason that the BJP,
06:15on the one hand, is constantly trying to talk about the question mark,
06:19and on the other hand, the National Conference
06:21to adjourn the House and talk about the time bill.
