During a session on a proposed statehood resolution, BJP legislators staged a walk‑out from the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, protesting the discussion.
In a recent sitting of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) collectively left the chamber. The walk‑out occurred while the house was debating a resolution that seeks to grant statehood status to the union territory.
The BJP lawmakers said they could not remain in a forum that was deliberating on a matter they consider politically sensitive and contrary to their stance. Their departure was a coordinated move intended to signal strong opposition to the proposal.
Assembly officials recorded the incident, and the session continued after the BJP members exited. No further details on the resolution’s progress were released at the time.
