Breaking News: National Conference MLAs Storm Desks, Tear Papers in J&K Assembly Over Waqf Bill Row | ABP NEWS

Tensions soared in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly as National Conference (NC) MLAs intensified their protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill. Shouting slogans, tearing papers, and climbing onto desks, the legislators attempted to pressure Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather to allow discussion on the bill. Despite repeated refusals from the Speaker, NC leaders continued to protest inside the House, accusing the Speaker of stalling the debate. The protest appeared to be a strategic move by the National Conference to portray that they were willing to discuss the bill, but were denied a platform. Marshals stopped MLAs from entering the Well, prompting them to stand on desks and wave torn documents toward the Speaker. The BJP has accused the NC of using these dramatic visuals to influence media narratives. As the chaos continued, the Speaker refused to proceed until order was restored, leaving the Assembly deadlocked over the contentious amendment.
