Saroori asked question to state government
Srinagar, May 31: - Opposition National Conference and Congress legislators staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly after Speaker Kavinder Gupta rejected an adjournment motion to discuss the issue of relief to the 2014 flood victims.
As soon as the House assembled, the opposition members from Congress party moved an adjournment motion to discuss the issue of relief to the flood victims.
The Speaker, however, rejected the demand of the opposition members, who then stormed into the well of the House raising slogans seeking justice for the flood-affected people. The Speaker said the issue had already been raised and the government will respond at an appropriate time.
Congress lawmaker from Inderwal G.M Saroori said while the state government had projected a loss of Rs. 44,000 crore due to the floods, Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh had made a statement that Rs. 3,500 crore was enough for compensation as well as reconstruction of the damaged property. He alleged that the ruling PDP-BJP state government has failed to provide relief to the families affected by floods. He said the fund released by the government had been misused.
With the Speaker refusing, the Congress MLAs walked out of the House. They were joined by National Conference members a while later.
