Er Rashid protests Khan’s participation in Assembly proceeding

Jammu: Jammu & Kashmir Assembly witnessed today furious scenes when Awami Ittihaad Party President (AIP) and MLA Langate Engineer Rashid protested in strong manner against the entry of tainted Shabir Ahmad Khan, former MoS Health of Jammu and Kashmir, in the Assembly despite facing grave   charges of sexual assault on a woman doctor.

According to a statement issued to KNS, “It is a great shame and matter of disgrace that a person facing such disgraceful charges is being allowed to take part in Assembly proceedings .All this tantamount to downplaying the honour and esteem of assembly and hurting its prestige. What would be a commoner thinking after all such negative developments about the assembly is a matter for all of us to ponder,” lamented Er Rashid.
Engineer Rashid also expressed shock over the criminal silence of National Conference, PDP BJP, Congress over this grave issue concerning the honour and esteem of women of Kashmir. As Engineer Rashid continued his vibrant and forceful protests against the participation of tainted former MOS Shabir Ahmad Khan he was marshaled out. Engineer Rashid has further stressed that such developments hit the very fundamental base of institutions and act as catalysts in people losing faith in democratic institutions. (KNS)
