The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly witnessed repeated disruptions on Wednesday as BJP legislators escalated their protest over an alleged remark made by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah during the ongoing Budget Session.
The controversy stemmed from Abdullah’s reported use of the phrase “Inko juute padee”, which BJP members described as
inappropriate and unbecoming of the dignity of the House.
Speaking in the Assembly, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed regret over the remarks, clarifying that he had no intention of hurting anyone.
“I regret my remarks if they have caused any hurt. My comments were directed at them and not at their family members,” he said.
