Incumbent Langate lawmaker Er Rasheed Tuesday accused New Delhi of turning J&K assembly into a “graveyard of sentiments”.
In a statement issued here, Rasheed said that the rights of the people of majority community have been trampled upon by hatching conspiracies against them through its collaborators “NC and PDP”.
Rasheed said that routinely marshalling him out from the assembly will not deter him from speaking for the “deprived” people of J&K.
He said that as soon as the house began its proceedings today on Tuesday, “I got up from my seat and wanted to know that while government had promised to release the juvenile Sahil within a day, why instead doing so the police has started harassing the school headmaster for issuing the date of birth certificate.”
The firebrand lawmaker asked the government to explain why the headmaster was being humiliated.
“The mother and other family members of Sahil are being summoned to police station constantly and the headmaster was detained in Police Station for the whole day and the record of the school has been seized by the police, which is unacceptable and unlawful,” Rasheed alleged.
Rasheed lashed out at CM Mehbooba Mufti, who was in the house, for “bulldozing the rights of Kashmiris”.
Rasheed was confronted by NC MLA’s and Sumbal lawmaker Akbar Lone supported by PDP and BJP MLA’s.
Rasheed alleged that the lawmakers hurled abuses at him and accused him of keeping the house hostage and “supporting criminal elements”.
Rasheed, according to the statement, reminded former CM Omar Abdullah and incumbent CM Mehbooba Mufti of their promises and accused them of being “collaborators and agents” of New Delhi.
“It is ironical that the house was unanimous in asking the speaker to marshal Rasheed out,” the statement said.
Rasheed while speaking to media said that whatsoever New Delhi has been doing to stop assembly from discussing “genuine issues” and acting against human rights violators is deplorable and condemnable.
Rasheed also condemned government for planning to allocate 700 Kanals of land to migrant Pandits and said that CM Mehbooba Mufti has become a rubber Stamp.
Rasheed reiterated that he will not allow Kashmir to become another Palestine and all such moves will be strongly resisted.
