Adhir Chowdhury Slams Govt For Not Allowing MPs To Visit Kashmir

Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday launched a blistering attack on the government for barring members of Parliament from visiting Jammu and Kashmir while allowing members of the European Union Parliament to visit Srinagar. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Chowdhary said it was an “atrocity” not to allow former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah to attend Lok Sabha proceedings.

The Congress leader used a derogatory term for members of the European Union to which some members took objection. Speaker Om Birla said he would examine whether the remark should be expunged.
