The proceedings of the emergency meeting which was called to discuss Kashmir issue stopped due to the absence of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan did not attend the emergency meeting of both the houses of the Parliament on Tuesday which was called to discuss the recent developments in Kashmir.

Following his absence, a ruckus broke out in the Pakistan parliament. Session proceedings stopped even before they started as the speaker left for his chamber.

According to the report, Pakistan President Arif Alvi had called for the meeting. The session may also pass a resolution condemning India's decision to abrogate Article 370.

Pakistani Opposition leaders like Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had raised the demand for a joint session after India's steps.

Along with the abrogation of Article 370, the Indian government has also bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. Jammu and Kashmir will have a Legislative Assembly while Ladakh will be a UT without a legislature.
