SAHIL BHAT 
OCT 23: With the “Obituary References” wherein solemn tributes were paid to the former Governor Satya Pal Malik, former minister and other legislators who died since the last session, the Autumn Session of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly commenced on Thursday.
While addressing the Assembly, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather paid tributes to former Governor Satya Pal Malik, former minister, Gulchain Singh Charak, former MLA Dina Nath Bhagat, former MLC, Ghulam Nabi Shaheen, former MLC, Ramesh Arora, former MLC, Sardar Mohammad Akhlaq Khan and others.
Rather outlined the imperative contributions of the late Governor, former minister and other legislators towards the development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaker also urged legislators to avail the limited time and speak during the Obituary References for those who have passed away.

During the obituary reference, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma; Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary; Minister Javed Ahmed Rana, MLA’s Dr. Bashir Ahmad Shah Veeri, Ghulam Ahmad Mir, Rafiq Ahmad Naik, Dr Rameshwar Singh, Mubarak Gul, Salman Ali Sagar, MY Tarigami, Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh, Pawan Gupta, Sajad Gani Lone, Aijaz Jan, Abdul Majid Bhat, Nizamuddin Bhat, Vikram Randhawa, Balwant Singh Mankotia, Choudhary Mohammad Akram, Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi, Iftikhar Ahmed and Narinder Singh also paid homage to the departed souls.

Legislators hailed the contribution of former colleagues, recalling their dedication towards the welfare and greater good of the society.

Furthermore, the Speaker and members of the house also held two-minute mourn in their remembrance.

The brief ruckus in Assembly occurred when NC MLA Dr Bashir Ahmed Veeri termed tenure of former Governor of J&K Satya Pal Malik as “Controversial”.
