Jammu and Kashmir: Massive ruckus in Assembly as NC, BJP MLAs spar over Waqf Amendment Act

A heated commotion erupted in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Monday over the recently enacted Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which was passed in Parliament and became law following the assent of President Droupadi Murmu. The development occurred after the ruling National Conference (NC) strongly objected to the legislation and demanded an immediate discussion in the House. Following the ruckus, the Assembly was adjourned for 15 minutes by Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather over his refusal to adjourn the question hour to discuss the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
