The House should condemn it,” Akram demanded. Legislators from NC, Congress and PDP also stood up, demanding action against the erring police personnel. NC’s Nazir Gurezi questioned,“ Is it a police state? Can police shoot, arrest anyone? Is there no law for the police?” The commotion intensified in the House with NC legislators Javed Choudhary, Mian Mehar Ali, Javaid Mirchal and Zaffar Ali Khatan attempting to storm the well of the House, but were prevented by Marshals from doing so. As protests continued, the Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah assured the protesting legislators that CM would address the matter.
