SRINAGAR, Oct 23: Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather on Thursday sharply criticized the Kupwara district administration for omitting the name of former Langate MLA Muhammad Sultan Panditpori from the House’s obituary references.
Calling the omission “an irresponsible attitude,” the Speaker highlighted that the district administration failed to inform the Assembly Secretariat about Panditpori’s demise, a step he described as essential for the smooth conduct of official proceedings.
Several legislators echoed the Speaker’s concerns, underlining the importance of timely communication from local authorities to ensure that former representatives are duly honored in the Assembly.
