Chaos in J&K Assembly: Engineer Rashid's brother, BJP MLAs marshalled out amid protests | VIDEO

Chaos in J&K Assembly: For the second consecutive day, intense disruptions rocked the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Friday, as heated arguments escalated to the point where multiple members, including Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh, brother of MP Engineer Rashid and MLA of Awami Ittehad Party, were forcibly removed from the House. Protesters in the Assembly raised slogans against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), intensifying the already charged atmosphere.

The turmoil erupted as National Conference MLA Javid Beg took the floor to deliver his speech, triggering a backlash from opposition members. BJP MLAs soon moved toward the well of the House, demanding a rollback of the resolution concerning Jammu and Kashmir's special status. Following this, Speaker Abdur Rahim Rather ordered the marshals to escort Sheikh and 11 other MLAs from the Assembly.
