The BJP members walked out of the House as ruckus erupted, when BJP and National Conference members engaged in a verbal duel on the issue. Intervening, Abdullah said, “You (BJP MLA Vikram Randhawa) have asked a question, please wait for the answer.”
“As far as the police’s treatment of the protesters is concerned, I would like to remind Randhawa Sahab, who is making a noise about this issue, that unfortunately, neither you nor I have control over the police,” he said.
The chief minister said that instead of creating a ruckus inside the House, it would have been better if the opposition raised the matter a few kilometres from there (referring to the lieutenant governor), where the actual control lies. “It would have been more appropriate to go there and ask why they were beaten up,” he said.
