Jammu and Kashmir Assembly has given PDP leader Waheed Para seven days to respond to a “breach of privilege” notice issued over his speech in the House early this month.
Para, a first-time MLA, has been served notice over his speech in the Assembly during the motion of thanks on the address of the Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha in the House. NC MLA, Nazir Gurez has moved the notice against Para.
Qazi Mushtaq Ahmad, undersecretary in the Legislative Assembly secretariat said in his letter to Para, “The office is in receipt of a communication from Nazir Ahmad Gurezi addressed to the Speaker in which it has been stated that Para, during his speech on Motion of Thanks on the Lieutenant Governor’s Address on 8th of November 2024, has levelled some allegations and used derogatory remarks against him. Accordingly, the matter was placed before the Speaker, who desired to seek comments from Para in the first instance before proceeding ahead in the matter.”
The letter asked Para to furnish his response in the matter within seven days so that the same could be placed before the Speaker.
