Srinagar, March 13 -- Visibly frustrated after being denied a chance to speak, Veeri-who represents the Bijbehara Assembly segment-voiced his dissent in the House, drawing thunderous applause from the opposition.

His remarks did not sit well with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who summoned Veeri to his chamber. The two returned to the House after 7-8 minutes, though details of their conversation remained undisclosed.
