Srinagar: Three youths
created a ruckus against high unemployment rate in the state, for
a short while interrupting the proceedings of the state
legislative assembly in Srinagar Monday.
One of the men jumped into the members' area from the visitors'
gallery, while the other two shouted slogans and waved flags from
there. The three men claimed to belong to the emocratic Front.
The three youths entered the state assembly complex with an
authorization from a sitting legislator to watch the proceedings
of the house from the visitors' gallery.
Speaker Muhammad Akbar Lone ordered the marshals to remove the
slogan-shouting youths and initiate legal action against them for
disrupting the house.
In a related development, the speaker also directed the assembly
secretariat to initiate action against those who had abetted in
the interruption of the assembly's proceedings.
What this means is that the speaker's direction would invite
action against the dissident member of the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) who had issued authorization passes to the three youths.
The three youths belonged to the Jammu region and the BJP
dissident legislator who gave them visitors' passes represents
Basohli constituency in Kathua district in the 87-member assembly.
State Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said there was no security
breach in this incident, as the three youths entered the assembly
complex on valid passes issued by a sitting legislator.
"It is not a breach of security, the three men had come in on
valid passes issued by an MLA. They were unarmed, and there was no
threat to any elected representative," the chief minister said.
Omar Abdullah, however, admitted that unemployment was an issue to
be addressed, apart from law and order, as there were six lakh
unemployed youths in the state.
The incident was not linked to the recent visit to Kashmir by
Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi along with top business
tycoons, he added.
