Uproar in J-K assembly over setting up of central universities

Srinagar, July 28 (ANI): The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Tuesday witnessed uproarious scenes over the issue of setting up central universities in the state.

As soon as the session of the assembly started, members of the BJP and Panthers Party came down and raised the issue of setting up central universities.

Speaker Muhammad Akbar Lone attempted to calm down the protestors, but the members continued to raise slogans against the government.

The Speaker said that the members would be given their chance after the question hour. However, members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) raised objections, demanding a chance to speak first after the question hour.

On Monday, ruckus broke out in the assembly over the Shopian case with opposition PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti wrenching a mike out of the Speaker's podium and throwing it away.

The Speaker then ordered their forceful removal from the House for disrespecting the Chair. (ANI)
