Jammu and Kashmir Assembly erupts over Article 370, fist fight breaks out
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly descended into chaos on Thursday as tempers flared, leading to a fist fight among some members. The turmoil began when Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh, brother of jailed Baramulla Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid, displayed a banner on Article 370 during the proceedings.
The display of the banner prompted a sharp objection from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Leader of the Opposition, Sunil Sharma. The heated exchange that followed escalated into physical altercations, forcing Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather to adjourn the session temporarily.
