Jammu, Mar 18: Alleging bias in denying him time to speak and not including his questions in the business of the House during the Budget Session, BJP MLA R S Pathania staged a walkout from Assembly.
Pathania attempted to raise his question, which was listed in the day’s business during the Question Hour. Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather, however, did not allow him to raise his question, stating that he had called Pathania’s name earlier, but he was absent from the House.
The MLA explained that he was late due to a traffic jam, citing poor traffic management as the reason & alleged bias on the part of the Speaker and the Assembly Secretariat for denying him the opportunity to speak and failing to include his questions in the House proceedings.
Thereafter, angered by the Speaker’s decision, he staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
