Police have reportedly withdrawn the security escorts of all Kashmir-based MLAs, prompting them to raise the issue in the Assembly on Friday and Saturday. ADVERTISEMENTThe reports surfaced days after former chief minister Farooq Abdullah survived an assassination attempt in Jammu. The issue rocked the Assembly on Saturday after several National Conference legislators moved an adjournment motion to discuss the attack on Farooq. Recalling the Pahalgam terror attack, PCC chief Qarra said: “Security was in place in Pahalgam, but was withdrawn and you had that incident. Qarra said their escorts were withdrawn for deployment in states facing elections, wondering why Kashmiri MLAs alone were targeted.
