Speaker censures Hibi Eden and T N Prathapan for tearing resolution on Kashmir

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla censured Parliament member Hibi Eden and T N Prathapan for tearing the resolution on bifurcating Kashmir into two. Birla censured the two after summoning them to his chamber. Birla summoned them after examining the video clippings of the assembly proceedings of the previous day. The speaker said tearing the resolution was not a proper procedure and is against rules.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah had the other day demanded in the Lok Sabha to consider the resolution bifurcating Kashmir state into Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The opposition opposed presenting the resolution in a hurry and sought voting. The opposition immediately trooped to the well of the house and created an uproar. In between this, the two tore the resolution.
