Congress MLAs stage assembly protest demanding CEC's resignation

Congress members created a commotion inside the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly as they rose from their seats and marched into the well of the house carrying protest banners. The demonstration disrupted the scheduled Question Hour proceedings, with the legislators pressing their demand for the resignation of Chief Electoral Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The protest reflected growing tensions between the Congress party and the state administration over electoral management issues. The MLAs maintained their position in the well of the house despite the disruption to normal business, underscoring the intensity of their opposition to Kumar's continued tenure.

The incident marks the latest in a series of demonstrations by opposition legislators in the assembly, highlighting persistent disagreements over governance and administrative matters in the union territory. Assembly officials were forced to intervene as the protest threatened to derail the day's scheduled agenda.
