BJP member removed from Assembly Srinagar, October 1 The trouble started immediately after the House assembled for the day when the Speaker called the name of Mr Baghat to raise the question he had given in written to the assembly secretariat. However, Mr Baghat protested and said the question mentioned in the file under question number 593 was never asked by him. The Speaker called the record and showed it to Mr Baghat the question paper signed by him. He came into the well of the House and said his signatures were forged and demanded an immediate inquiry into the entire matter. On this, the Speaker directed him to resume the seat as he would look into the matter. Not satisfied with the reply of Speaker, Mr Baghat said he was walking out of the House in protest. But, before he could leave the House, the Speaker said no member could walk out through the well of the House and suspended him for the rest of the session. Later, the ward and watch officials removed him from the house.
