Jammu, February 9 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather expressed serious concern on Monday regarding reports of an MLA bringing a microphone into the House, and instructed officials to thoroughly investigate the issue and take appropriate action.
The Speaker's comments came after National Conference MLA Altaf Ahmad Wani raised the issue that People's Democratic Party (PDP) MLA Waheed Ur Rehman Parra had allegedly brought a microphone into the House.
Rather asserted that it is unethical for a member to bring a microphone into the House. "I take this matter very seriously," he stated.
He further directed the Assembly Secretariat to thoroughly examine the issue and initiate appropriate action in accordance with the rules.
