Waheed Para, the Peoples Democratic Party leader and MLA from Pulwama, has urged the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker to take a stand in defending the institution of legislators.
His comments came after a show-cause notice was issued to him by Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather over social media claims related to the detention of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
Para disagreed with the speaker's actions, emphasizing the need to uphold the integrity of the Assembly, describing the issue as an institutional challenge rather than a personal one.
