Jammu, Apr 8: Three opposition legislators led by People\u2019s Conference leader Sajad Gani Lone on Tuesday presented a no-confidence motion against Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather.
\nLone alleged that the Speaker had become an \u201cimpediment\u201d in voicing their opinion against the Waqf (Amendment) Act in the Assembly.
\nThe Jammu and Kashmir Assembly witnessed pandemonium for the second straight day on the issue, prompting the Speaker to adjourn the House initially for 30 minutes shortly after the start of the day\u2019s business.
\nThe House was later adjourned till 1 pm. On Monday when the House assembled after a 12-day recess, it descended into chaos with religious and jingoistic sloganeering after the Speaker rejected an adjournment motion, moved by the ruling National Conference members, to discuss the Waqf (Amendment) Act, saying the matter was sub-judice.
\n\u201cFollowing Rule 215(A) of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly, we hereby submit this notice of our intention to move a resolution for the removal of the Speaker of the Assembly.
\n\u201cThis decision stems from widespread outrage within the House over the Speaker\u2019s actions, including the rejection of discussions on an adjournment motion and the refusal to entertain a resolution brought forward by opposition parties.
\nSuch conduct undermines the democratic principles and procedures governing this esteemed institution, prompting this resolution to address the matter,\u201d Lone, MLA from Handwara, said in a letter addressed to the secretary of the Assembly.
\nPDP legislators Fayaz Ahmad Mir (Kupwara) and Rafiq Ahmad Naik (Tral) are the other two signatories of the letter. \u201cWe have presented a no-confidence motion against the Speaker. He has become an impediment in voicing our opinion against the Waqf bill,\u201d Lone said in a post on X, also making the letter public.
\nWe have presented a no confidence motion against the Honble Speaker. He has become an impediment in voicing our opinion against the Waqf bill.
\nJ&K is the only Muslim province in India. History will hold us in contempt if we do not send a strong message against this bill. pic.twitter.com\/8rMbyNetph
\n\u2014 Sajad Lone (@sajadlone) April 8, 2025
\nTalking to reporters outside the Assembly, Lone requested protesting National Conference members to support the motion against the Speaker. \u201cWe appeal NC members to support the motion. If they don\u2019t (support), they will be exposed.
\nHow it can be tangible that a National Conference legislator who is the Speaker disallows the adjournment motion and other members of the party are protesting? The whole world is watching this drama,\u201d Lone said.
\nHe said they are not saying \u201cwe are going to change the law but at least we can register our protest on behalf of the only Muslim-majority region of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
