Jammu & Kashmir Assembly adjourned amid uproar over Waqf Act
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Monday witnessed a massive uproar after Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather denied an adjournment motion on the Waqf Act, following which the House was adjourned. The incident occurred when National Conference (NC) MLAs moved a motion to adjourn the Question Hour to discuss the Waqf Act, which has been a contentious issue in the Valley.
The Waqf Act, which governs the management and administration of Waqf properties in the state, has been a source of controversy in Jammu and Kashmir. The Act, which was passed in 2019, has been criticized by many, including religious leaders and opposition parties, for allegedly favoring the Muslim community over others. The controversy surrounding the Act has been ongoing for some time, with many calling for its repeal or amendment.
On Monday, the NC MLAs moved a motion to adjourn the Question Hour to discuss the Waqf Act, citing the need to address the concerns of the people of the state. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is a key ally of the ruling coalition in the state, protested the move, demanding that the Question Hour be held as scheduled.
The Speaker, Abdul Rahim Rather, denied the adjournment motion, stating that the House was already running behind schedule and that there was no need to adjourn the Question Hour. However, the NC MLAs were not satisfied with the Speaker’s decision and continued to protest, leading to a heated exchange of words between the two sides.
The BJP MLAs, meanwhile, accused the NC of trying to derail the Question Hour and criticized the party for not allowing the House to function smoothly.
