High drama erupted in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly as a heated clash broke out among legislators over the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill. The situation turned chaotic when members of PDP, National Conference, and Congress demanded an immediate discussion on the bill, defying the Speaker’s refusal to allow debate. Tensions escalated as MLAs, including Sajad Lone and Khurshid Ahmed Sheikh, were seen pushing and shoving each other in the Assembly. Visuals captured lawmakers climbing onto desks in protest, while marshals struggled to control the disorder. The Speaker, Abdul Rahim Rather, repeatedly urged members to return to their seats, but his appeals went unheard. The Waqf Bill has become a flashpoint, revealing deep political fault lines and factional divisions within the Assembly. With the ruling alliance and opposition at loggerheads, the Assembly session turned into a battleground, highlighting the growing unrest surrounding the proposed amendments and the demand for a transparent debate.

02:38Let us know from Ajay Bashloo.
02:40The commotion that you are seeing today in the Jammu and Kashmir Vidhan Sabha,
02:44there was a lot of commotion here.
02:46Sajjad Lone is standing here in the centre.
02:48The MLAs are arguing.
02:50What is the whole matter?
02:52See, even today, the matter is about time.
02:56The demand here is that
02:58there should be a debate on the law of time.
03:02Because yesterday, the way the National Conference had decided
03:05that until there is no debate on this matter,
03:09they will not let the house run.
03:11And in this process,
03:13as soon as the house was established,
03:15the commotion started here.
03:17Because the demand is increasing.
03:19And along with the National Conference,
03:21the Congress is also taking steps on this issue.
03:24And now it is being demanded
03:26that there should be a debate on the law of time here.
03:32Although the speakers are trying to make them sit,
03:36but the MLAs of the National Conference,
03:39their supporters,
03:41they are constantly standing up and going towards the well.
03:44And they are constantly demanding
03:48that there should be a debate on this matter.
03:51Although the speakers have been debating for a long time, the NGOs and the MLAs are ignoring the speaker and are continuously demanding that there should be a debate on this issue.
04:08And the commotion here in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is continuing.
04:13The MLAs here seem to be fighting among themselves.
04:17I can see the MLAs of PDP, Sajjad Lone, Khursheed Ahmed Shaikh here.
04:25And all of them are fighting with each other.
04:28How is this fighting happening here in the Assembly?
04:38We are unable to contact Ajay Bachlu at the moment.
04:40Let's hear what the MLA has to say.
04:43I have already decided that the speakers will be judged in the final.
04:48I have already decided.
04:59No question. No question.
05:01No question. No question.
05:04No question.
05:13No question. No question.
05:17No question. No question.
05:20No question. No question.
05:23No question. No question.
05:26No question. No question.
05:28Let's hear what Ajay Bachlu has to say.
05:31I wanted to understand how this fighting is happening here.
05:36Yesterday, there was a National Conference, Congress, the ruling party, Gadbandhan,
05:41and on the other hand, BJP was strongly opposing it.
05:44And then, the proposal that was being brought by the President of the Assembly,
05:48was rejected by handing over the rules.
05:51But today, the MLAs of PDP are bringing the proposal.
05:55And here, we can see that from Sajjad Lone,
05:58the rest of the MLAs are fighting somewhere,
06:03including Khursheed Ahmed Shaikh.
06:05So, how is this fighting happening today?
06:08Who is standing with whom?
06:10Ajay Bachlu.
06:11Look, Ramana, today, the MLAs of PDP,
06:15they were the only ones,
06:17they brought a resolution on the Work Bill,
06:20which was rejected by the Speaker,
06:23saying that we have already rejected this Bill.
06:26After that, they were thrown out of the Assembly.
06:29So, the MLAs of the National Conference and Sajjad Lone,
06:34who are MLAs of the People's Conference,
06:36were thrown out of the Assembly.
06:37The way it is shown in the picture,
06:39that Omar Abdullah is roaming around in Tuluk Garden
06:42with the Central Minister, Kiran Riju.
06:45So, on that, they said,
06:47that your Chief Minister is roaming around there
06:50and you are asking for a debate on the Work Bill.
06:54And on the other side, the Chief Minister is walking around
06:56with the Central Ministers in Tuluk Garden.
06:58So, this, somewhere or the other,
07:00the MLAs of the National Conference were thrown out.
07:03So, on this, Sajjad Lone and the MLAs of the National Conference
07:08had a back-to-back debate.
07:10And here, continuously,
07:12what was seen yesterday by the Opposition,
07:15what was seen together yesterday by the Right-Wing,
07:17is being seen a little scattered today.
07:19And the reason for that is the picture that has been made,
07:22which has been viral in the Tuluk Garden
07:24of Omar Abdullah and Kiran Riju.
07:26So, on that, Sajjad Gani Lone has said,
07:30that the way you are talking about the Work Bill on one side
07:33and on the other side, your Chief Minister
07:35is roaming around there with the Central Ministers.
07:39So, with this, he has said,
07:41after which, here, continuously, the commotion continues.
07:44The commotion continues and has increased.
07:46Ajay Bachlu, now the MLA is seen standing on the table.
07:50This MLA has climbed on the tables here.
07:52Meaning, the marshals are stopping him from coming to the Vale.
07:54So, the MLA, who is standing on the next table,
07:57is protesting here.
07:59The MLA, who is Abdul Rahim Rathar,
08:01is being told to sit on his seat.
08:03Only then will the matter be discussed.
08:05Right now, Saddam's action is not being stopped.
08:07But here, see how the MLA is protesting.
08:10And the MLA, on his behalf, on behalf of the PDP,
08:15today, actually, the proposal,
08:17which is the time-limited law,
08:19to bring it against it,
08:21this was being demanded.
08:23Which was once again, given the reference of the law,
08:25was withdrawn by the MLA.
08:27And after that, the commotion continues.
08:29But, the heat, and this tension,
08:32only increased when Sajjad Lone
08:34attacked the National Conference,
08:36saying that the Chief Minister
08:38is walking around with the Central Ministers.
08:41And the National Conference, here,
08:43is just pretending,
08:45is just showing off,
08:47the time-limited law's opposition.
08:49After that, the matter increased.
08:51And the situation had reached its peak.
08:53A few days ago, I was showing you the pictures.
08:55Where you could see Sajjad Lone's attack
08:57on the other MLAs,
08:59during the National Conference.
