The article discusses a recent incident in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs were evicted during a chaotic session. This occurred amidst heated protests over a resolution aimed at restoring the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, which was revoked in 2019 with the abrogation of Article 370. The assembly witnessed significant turmoil, with physical altercations between BJP members and assembly marshals following the Speaker’s order to remove protesting opposition members.
Claim
The claim made in the story is that BJP MLAs were evicted from the Jammu and Kashmir assembly specifically for chanting “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.” This assertion is misleading as it oversimplifies the situation, which involved broader protests against a resolution regarding Article 370.
Fact
The factual situation is that BJP MLAs were indeed marshalled out of the assembly due to their disruptive behavior during protests against a resolution calling for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status. The eviction was ordered by Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather after repeated disruptions and physical confrontations ensued between the BJP members and marshals. Reports indicate that this incident escalated when opposition members stormed the well of the House, leading to chaos.
