Srinagar:
There was chaos in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly Thursday as
opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Panthers Party
legislators tore papers and snatched mikes to protest Chief
Minister Omar Abdullah's speech a day earlier.
The legislators, who gathered near the speaker's podium, were
marshalled out of the house.
In the process, BJP legislator Durga
Das was injured and received stitches in a hospital.
He said he was hurt by the 'kada',
or steel bangle, worn by one of the marshals. Two other BJP
legislators also claim to have been injured.
The BJP, Panthers Party and the Jammu Morcha have now decided to
boycott the rest of the assembly session.
The opposition legislators were protesting Abdullah's speech
Wednesday where he had said Kashmir had acceded to India under an
agreement and not merged with it.
He had also asked why the BJP was repeatedly stating that Kashmir
was an integral part of India, as it meant they had doubts about
their own statement.
