The first session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly since its reconvening was marked by significant turmoil as a People's Democratic Party (PDP) MLA introduced a resolution opposing the abrogation of Article 370. The move sparked fierce protests from BJP members, leading to a heated exchange that disrupted proceedings. This clash underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding the status of Jammu and Kashmir and highlights the divergent political sentiments in the region.
