Waheed-ur-Rehman Para, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) legislative party leader, has been served a breach of privilege notice by the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. The notice demands a response within seven days concerning his speech made earlier this month.

The accusation comes from National Conference MLA Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi, who claims Para made derogatory remarks against him during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the Lieutenant Governor's Address on November 8, 2024.

In a communication addressed to Para on Tuesday, Qazi Mushtaq Ahmad, under-secretary of the J&K legislative assembly secretariat, stated that the matter is being reviewed by the Speaker, requiring Para's comments before further action is taken.
