Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Disrupted Over BJP MLA's Remarks on Pir Panjal Region

Jammu and Kashmir BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma sparked controversy by rejecting the existence of the 'Pir Panjal region,' referring to Rajouri and Poonch districts as part of a single, undivided Jammu and Kashmir. His remarks led to protests and demands for an apology from Congress and National Conference MLAs, who viewed the comments as disrespectful to the region's identity and sacrifices. The Assembly session was disrupted and briefly adjourned amid heated exchanges between BJP and opposition members over regional nomenclature and unity.
