Speaker of Jammu & Kashmir Assembly, Abdul Rahim Rather, firmly stated that neither the Speaker nor the Assembly Secretariat has any involvement in the arrest decision. “Rules will be followed, and punishment given if needed,” he asserted. The Speaker condemned MLA Pulwama, Para Wahid, for spreading false information, saying, “He has no knowledge of the rules and has completely lied. For this, he must be punished according to the rules.” Emphasizing transparency and discipline, Speaker Rather warned that anyone attempting to mislead the public by spreading false narratives will face strict action. “Such behaviour cannot be tolerated,” he added, reinforcing the Assembly’s commitment to integrity and lawful procedures.
