Srinagar: As MLA Rajouri Choudhary Qamar started his address in the Assembly during the special session on Goods And Services Tax (GST) implementation in the state and congratulated the present dispensation for GST, the opposition members chanted ‘Gaddaar, Gaddaar’ (Traitor, Traitor).
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Lawmaker Javed Mustafa Mir, addressing the chair of the house said that the opposition is not allowing members to speak and is calling them traitors.
“This is not acceptable. This should not be allowed. And when Mr. Choudhary stood up to speak, someone from the opposition shouted Gaddaar,” he said.
National Conferences’ Abdul Majeed Bhat Larmey stood up and shouted, “Meine bola Gaddaar, mein seena thok kay bolta hoon. (It was me who addressed him as Gaddaar. You are all traitors.)”
A visibly angry Mir stood up and said that before accusing others, people should take a look into their own back yard.
He went a mile ahead and said that nobody in this house can take a moral high ground.
“Is hamam mein sab nangay hain,” said Mir, while replying to the opposition’s chants of PDP being the party of traitors.
