SRINAGAR, Oct 29: Pandemonium broke out in the Jammu and Kashmir legislative Assembly on Wednesday after BJP MLA Shagun Parihar alleged the Government was neglecting some Kishtwar areas as “nationalist Hindus” reside there. The Kishtwar MLA’s comments, made during the Zero Hour, were objected to by the treasury benches. Minister Javid Dar said these remarks were communal and should be expunged. NC MLA Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi said thousands of Muslims have given sacrifices for the nation, and they should not be insulted. Amid the din, deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary said Muslims, Sikhs and Christians in Jammu and Kashmir were equally nationalists like the Hindus. “I will request that the hurtful words should be expunged,” the Gurez MLA requested the Speaker.
