Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today objected to mentioning of names of persons killed in the Jat quota agitation when the House was offering condolences on the first day of the Budget session.

The House paid condolences to those "innocent persons" who lost their lives in Jat stir.

However, Khattar objected to the names of some persons, who died during the stir, being read out by INLD member Jaswinder Singh Sandhu and other opposition members, saying an "inquiry was still on" and just mentioning "innocent persons" should suffice for the moment without taking any names.

The obituary references were passed after Chief Minister Khattar and Speaker Kanwar Pal paid tributes to leaders who died during the inter-session period.
 

The members of the House also observed a two-minute silence to pay homage to the departed souls.

Kuldeep Bishnoi of HJC and independent MLA Jai Parkash also made obituary references to Former speakers of Lok Sabha Balram Jakhar and P A Sangma, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, Judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court Justice Naresh Kumar Sanghi and former Chief Parliamentary Secretary Roshan Lal Tiwari.

The House also paid homage to 12 martyrs of Haryana who laid down their lives while safeguarding and protecting the unity and integrity of the country including Capt Pawan Kumar of Jind district.

The House also paid tributes to the security personnel, who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on Pathankot Air Force Station in the January this year and at Pampore in Jammu and Kashmir last month.
