J&K Special Status Resolution: BJP MLAs Hold Mock Assembly After Ruckus Continues for Third Day
Introduction
The political crisis in Jammu and Kashmir continues to escalate, with BJP MLAs holding a mock Assembly session in protest against the opposition's disruptions. The ruckus in the Assembly has now entered its third day, with no end in sight.
Background of the Crisis
The current crisis stems from the introduction of a resolution in the Assembly to revoke Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The resolution has been met with strong opposition from the opposition parties, who argue that it is unconstitutional and will undermine the state's autonomy.
BJP's Mock Assembly Session
In response to the disruptions, BJP MLAs held a mock Assembly session on the steps of the Legislative Assembly building. The session was presided over by BJP MLA Sat Sharma and attended by several other party MLAs.
The mock session passed a resolution condemning the opposition's disruptions and calling for the immediate passage of the resolution to revoke Article 370.
Opposition's Response
The opposition parties have condemned the BJP's mock Assembly session as a "farce" and a "violation of the Constitution." They have also accused the BJP of trying to subvert the democratic process.
The National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have said that they will continue to oppose the resolution to revoke Article 370.
Implications of the Crisis
The ongoing crisis in Jammu and Kashmir has serious implications for the state and the country as a whole. The crisis has raised questions about the future of the state's autonomy and the relationship between the state and the central government.
It is unclear how the crisis will be resolved, but it is clear that the situation is likely to remain tense for some time to come
