SRINAGAR: Members of National Conference and ruling BJP clashed in State Assembly today over the security situation in the wake of attack on CRPF convoy, with the opposition party demanding to know what steps were being taken to deal with the growing violence.
NC members later staged a walkout as their demand went unheeded.
As soon as the House assembled for the day, NC MLAs wanted to speak on the security situation, which according to them was “deteriorating”.
The opposition members referred to the recent incidents of violence in the State including the deadly Pampore attack on last Saturday that left eight CRPF personnel dead and 21 injured.
“We are in the session (of the Assembly) and the Government must come out with a statement,” NC member Devender Rana said.
He also took on BJP, which shares power with PDP in the State, for demanding “attack” on militant training camps across the border in Pakistan.
Accusing BJP of creating “war hysteria”, he said the ruling party was indulging in “jingoism” and “playing to the gallery instead of spelling out measures to combat violence.
Asserting that war is not a solution, Rana said the State, especially the areas adjoining the Line of Control and International Border, braved the brunt of shelling from across the border two years ago. (AGENCIES)
