A ruckus broke out in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly on Thursday after Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh, MLA from Langate and brother of jailed Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid, displayed a banner on Article 370, leading to a fist fight among lawmakers.

The banner displayed by the Awami Ittehad Party MLA read, “We demand restoration of Article 370 and 35A. Release of political prisoners.”

He stormed into the well of the House, prompting objections from Leader of the Opposition and BJP leader Sunil Sharma, while marshals tried to stop him from standing.

The Speaker also instructed him to take his seat. However, he continued standing with the banner, and BJP leaders attempted to snatch it from him, leading to a fist fight.

PDP MLA from Pulwama, Waheed Para, was seen stepping in to rescue the Langate MLA.
