Saroori stages walk out from Assembly, chair recalls Hakim.

Jammu, March 16: In a rare incident, a member of the ruling coalition, the Congress MLA from Inderwal G M Saroori staged a walkout from the House when he was denied a supplementary by the Chair during the Question Hour.

Saroori who wanted to ask a supplementary to the question of MY Tarigami regarding allocations under tribal plan, was denied the opportunity by the Deputy Speaker MS Madani.

He rejected Saroori plea to raise supplementary on the ground that the question had already consumed much time and written reply had been furnished to him in response to his un-starred question regarding upliftment of SC/ST community.

Saroori however insisted, "This question needs a supplementary," said Saroori, but not finding favours from the Chair, staged a walkout.

Hakim Yasin, who also wanted to ask the supplementary to the same question also woke up to stage a walkout, but was recalled by the Deputy Speaker. "Hakim sahib, this would not be fair, please come back," said the Deputy Speaker, following which Hakim Yasin returned to assume his seat.

Another walk-out was staged by BJP MLA from Marh, Ch Sukhnandan during the discussion on the grants of the Department of Agriculture Production.

After raising some issues of farmers, the MLA said, “I don’t think this discussion would yield any positive result. I have been raising similar issues during the past four years but no step has been taken by the Government till date to give practical shape to the assurances”.

Later, he staged walk-out.
