Engineer Rashid marshalled out of J-K Legislative Assembly

Later, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Abdul Rehman Veeri said that Sahil Ahmad Sheikh of Noor Bagh Pamposh Colony Srinagar has been lodged in Kot Bhalwal jail and his age is stated to be between 20-25 years. However, keeping in view the concern of the member, superintendent of the jail has been directed to get his age verified at the earliest.

Watch what else is making news

Not satisfied by minister’s reply, Rasheed asked the government to get his actual age ascertained from his school records as the boy has been a school drop out. Deputy Speaker Nazir Ahmed Gurezi supported the point raised by MLA and accordingly suggested the government to verify boy’s age from his school records.

However, as Rasheed continued to create noisy scenes even thereafter, Law Minister Abdul Ahad Haq stood up accusing him of taking the House to ransom. He has become a problem for the House, he added.

Immediately thereafter, Deputy Speaker asked Rasheed to take jis seat. However, as his repeated directions fell on deaf ears, Gurezi asked the Assembly’s watch and ward staff to move out the indepent MLA from the House for two days.
