Uproar in Kashmir assembly over Afzal Guru resolution

Srinagar, September 28: Pandemonium broke out in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly Wednesday as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress legislators protested the tabling of a clemency resolution for 2001 parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

They resorted to slogan-shouting, saying “anti-national resolution ‘ko wapas karo, wapas karo’ (Take back the anti-national resolution)”. They even smashed tables and mikes.

Speaker Mohammad Akbar Lone adjourned the assembly twice, first for half an hour and then for one hour.
