In Jammu and Kashmir, the opposition’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peoples Conference (PC) have today submitted a no-confidence motion against Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather for rejecting discussion on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill-2025, saying his decision has evoked widespread outrage.
Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that the opposition has sought the removal of the speaker.
This decision stems from widespread outrage within the House over the Speaker’s actions, including the rejection of discussions on an adjournment motion and the refusal to entertain a resolution brought forward by opposition parties, reads the petition.
With the opposition bringing a no-confidence motion against Rather, all eyes would be on the stance of the National Conference on this issue, given that they are protesting against the Speaker’s refusal to allow discussion on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025.
