The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly will hold on Tuesday a day-long discussion on the ongoing unrest that has claimed over 100 lives so far in the Valley, officials said here today.
 
The Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of the Legislative Assembly decided to discuss the law and order situation in the Valley on October 5 after several MLAs had moved an adjournment motion to this effect.
 
CPI(M) state secretary MY Tarigami, ruling National Conference MLAs Mir Saifullah and Chaudhry Mohammad Ramzan had moved adjournment motions on Friday, seeking a discussion of the situation prevailing in the Valley.
 
Speaker Mohammad Akbar Lone said the business advisory committee will meet and select a date for the discussions.
 
The unrest in the Valley was expected to dominate the proceedings of the ongoing summer session. Main opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), however, decided to stay away from the House till the state government initiated action against those responsible for killing of youths during protests in the Valley.
 
The Committee had sent Tarigami as an emissary to PDP president Mehbooba Mufti to persuade her to end the boycott in the larger interests of the people and democracy. However, she ruled out taking part in the ongoing session till her demand was met.
 
Kashmir has been in grip of violent protests since June 11 when a 17-year-old boy was killed after he was hit by a tear smoke shell during clashes at Rajouri Kadal in the interior city. So far, 105 people have been killed in the unrest in the Valley.
