Major uproar was witnessed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly as the House was adjourned for 15 minutes amid fierce protests by National Conference (NC) MLAs and their allies. The commotion erupted after Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather rejected the amendment proposal brought by NC on a recently passed central bill, citing that the matter is currently sub judice in the Supreme Court.The Speaker’s decision sparked strong backlash, with NC MLAs storming into the well of the House, shouting slogans and even tearing papers in symbolic protest. The ruckus led the Speaker to suspend proceedings temporarily. Visuals showed visibly angry legislators, indicating a pre-planned strategy by the NC to confront the government on the issue, particularly to resonate with their voter base in Srinagar.The protest comes a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting with BJP legislators in Jammu, anticipating such motions. NC, under Omar Abdullah's leadership, had already held strategy meetings and announced their intent to raise an amendment motion.BJP, meanwhile, has argued that NC is only raising such bills to divert attention from real issues like rising fuel and electricity prices. The next steps from the NC will be crucial as they aim to politically capitalize on the situation.

00:00Let's talk to Ajay Bajshalu. Ajay, what has happened?
00:04Look Ramana, in the midst of this uproar, the speaker, Abdul Rahim Lathar, has adjourned the house for 15 minutes.
00:12He has closed the house so that the uproar can be calmed down.
00:17Let me quickly tell the viewers that for 15 minutes, the Jammu and Kashmir committee has closed the house.
00:23The proceedings have been adjourned for 15 minutes.
00:26This is why the picture that I had shown you, the chairman of the committee was not present there.
00:30For 15 minutes, the Jammu and Kashmir committee has adjourned the proceedings.
00:34The uproar was raging and this is why the chairman of the committee had to adjourn the proceedings for 15 minutes.
00:41Yes, Ajay Bajshalu, complete the matter.
00:43Yes, absolutely. The proceedings of the house have been adjourned for 15 minutes.
00:49This has happened because the members of the National Conference and their co-parties have repeatedly opposed the speaker's proposal to close the house.
00:59They have repeatedly come to the well and they have repeatedly been making slogans.
01:03So, look at the uproar. The speaker, Abdul Rahim Lathar, has adjourned the house for 15 minutes.
01:09After 15 minutes, we will have to see how this situation progresses.
01:14But the big news is that the proposal that the National Conference had brought on the wax bill,
01:20the speaker, Abdul Rahim Lathar, has withdrawn it.
01:24And the reference has been given that this matter is in the Supreme Court, in the court.
01:28So, it cannot be discussed in this way.
01:31So, this is a big shock for the National Conference.
01:34And for now, the Jammu and Kashmir committee has been staggered for 15 minutes.
01:39And the members of the National Conference were here in full preparation today.
01:42Because their anger can be seen in the pictures.
01:45Ajay Bajroo, how can you see them tearing the papers?
01:49Did the members of the National Conference try to tear the papers against the law?
01:58Yes, absolutely.
02:00Look, the whistles of the National Conference come from Srinagar.
02:04In fact, the voters of Srinagar are here to get them.
02:09Before this, let me tell you that the National Conference had a meeting with its allies,
02:14which was led by Omar Abdullah himself.
02:17And this meeting took place in Srinagar at Mr. Surendra Chaudhary's house.
02:20It was made clear there that the National Conference will not accept such laws.
02:29So, the policy was already made.
02:31And Tanvir Sadiq, the MLA of the National Conference,
02:34had already announced yesterday that such a bill will be brought to the National Conference
02:42so that an adjournment motion can be brought on it and a full debate can be held on it.
02:47But yesterday, because Amit Shah was in Jammu and he had spoken to the MLAs of the BJP,
02:52he also said that such a motion can be brought here.
02:59And since this morning, there has been a debate between the MLAs of the National Conference and the BJP
03:06regarding this law.
03:10And this debate was so big that the MLAs of the National Conference couldn't reach the well.
03:15The papers were torn here in the Jammu Kashmir Varan Faba.
03:19So, this commotion was very big.
03:21After 15 minutes, the Speaker of the Vidhan Sabha, Abdul Rahim Rastar,
03:25has suspended the Vidhan Sabha for 15 minutes.
03:29And after 15 minutes, when this Vidhan Sabha will start again,
03:34it will be interesting to see how this action will proceed.
03:38As you are saying, there is an effort from the National Conference to address its constituency.
03:44So, now the important thing is whether a way can be found from the National Conference
03:50because the political message they want to give to their voters,
03:56the aim will be to somehow discuss this issue here
04:01and to surround the Central Government and the BJP.
04:04So, for that, some other alternative, some other way will be found here.
04:07You are from the National Conference, Ajay Bachlu.
04:09Yes, absolutely. The National Conference and its allies, the Congress,
04:14they had said that this issue is unacceptable.
04:19The National Conference will not tolerate this.
04:22Now, when the Speaker of the Vidhan Sabha has refused to discuss this issue,
04:28so now many alternative ways can be seen by the National Conference
04:32on how to move forward on this issue, how to take this issue forward.
04:36Because after addressing the constituency, yesterday there was a meeting of Amit Shah here
04:41and it was said by the MLA that now that this bill has become a law,
04:48now that it has become a law, there is no need to discuss this issue.
04:52And in this way, if the National Conference...
04:55Yesterday, the BJP had even said that they are bringing the bill from the National Conference
05:01so that the main issues of J&K, whether it is the increase in petrol and diesel prices
05:07or the increase in electricity tariffs,
05:10the issues related to the public should not be discussed.
05:15The issues should not be raised in the Assembly.
05:17This bill has been brought to discuss these issues.
05:19The BJP will never tolerate this.
05:22Thank you very much, Ajay Bachlu, for all this information.
05:25So, there was a huge commotion in the J&K Vidhan Sabha.
05:27They wanted to bring the National Conference proposal against the law.
05:30But the Speaker of the Vidhan Sabha, Abdul Rahim Rathod,
05:33withdrew this proposal from the National Conference.
05:37It was not accepted.
05:39It was handed over to the court.
05:40Because it is in the court now, the law does not allow it.
