Mehbooba slams assembly speaker, accuses him of imposing a form of ‘martial law

SRINAGAR: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said the role of the assembly speaker is to safeguard the rights of members of the legislature and not to act as a censor.
Her remarks came after Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather took a serious note of publicity of the House business notices ahead of the Budget session. The Speaker has asked the members to desist from the breach of privilege.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister accused Rather of imposing a form of “martial law” while occupying a constitutional position. (PTI)
