00:00The resolution is seeking restoration of dialogue for 370 and special status.

00:09In today's resolution, we have clearly kept in mind public sentiment and outrage.

00:14We condemned the 5th August 2019 move, which was done by BJP in the Parliament of India.

00:20Secondly, we seek the restoration of 370, 35A, special status of Jammu and Kashmir,

00:26in its original form, in its pristine form.

00:29We tabled the same resolution.

00:31We tabled the same resolution to the Speaker today.

00:35We request the National Conference to table it, because it is a majority party.

00:39Or let us table it and support it.

00:41And this is what we want.

00:43There is no scope for dialogue on the deliberations of 35A and 370.

00:48Both sides are playing to galleries.

00:50Yesterday's resolution was praised by BJP and Amit Malviya from Delhi.

00:54Our attempt is to reflect the public sentiment of Jammu and Kashmir.

00:58Because this is the first house, it should reflect the public sentiment of people of Jammu and Kashmir.

01:03And one, the 5th August move should be condemned.

01:05And special status, Article 370, should be restored, along with 35A, in its original form.

01:11The government has moved a resolution very cleverly.

01:19I believe that they have violated the sanctity of this house.

01:30And we have received reports.

01:36The custodian of this house, the Speaker,

01:42yesterday evening, he himself sat with the government and drafted this resolution.

01:52And today, the business he gave,

01:58that two people will speak on behalf of the government,

02:05on behalf of the ruling party,

02:07a vote of thanks,

02:09and after that, the rest of the MLAs will be called.

02:13But, the resolution which is illegal,

02:22the resolution which is unconstitutional,

02:27which has no sanctity,

02:32which has no validity,

02:35because this Assembly is not above the Parliament,

02:41this Assembly is not above the Supreme Court,

02:45the verdict of the Supreme Court is 141,

02:50and the verdict of the Parliament is 246.

02:55Today, they have violated the law.

02:59They have violated the sanctity of the Speaker.

03:03The Speaker who is the custodian of the house,

03:09the custodian who has expectations and hopes of the entire house,

03:16today, the Speaker has worked as an agent for a particular party.
