The members of the opposition staged a walk out from the Lok Sabha on Monday following uproar over Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's remark crediting Pakistan and Hurriyat for peaceful elections in the state. e opposition walk out took place minutes after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh put forward the government's views in this regard.
"I have already had discussion with the Prime Minister. I am making statement after his approval. The credit for conducive environment during polls in Jammu and Kashmir goes to the Election Commission, our armed forces and people of J-K," said Singh in Lok Sabha.
The members of the opposition instead demanded a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue.
"We want the Prime Minister to speak on this matter in the house and condemn statement given by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister so that a clear message can be given," said Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge.
