Jammu and Kashmir MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid, who moved a resolution in the state assembly seeking clemency for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, has sought governor NN Vohra's intervention in getting the resolution tabled again in the ongoing session.
The resolution was to be tabled on September 28, but the house was adjourned following clashes between Congress and BJP legislators. The nine-day autumn session of the assembly will conclude on Tuesday.
