Srinagar, July 29 - Armed with a clean chit from the CBI, Jammu and Kashmir's ruling National Conference Wednesday decided to move a breach of privilege motion against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Muzaffar Hussain Baig who had alleged that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was involved in a sex scandal.

Law Minister Ali Muhammad Sagar told the speaker of the assembly that the PDP member had made a false accusation against the chief minister and the NC would move a breach of privilege motion against him.

Earlier, Speaker Muhammad Akbar Lone read a letter sent by the Central Bureau of Investigation to the state assembly secretariat. It said Abdullah, who submitted his resignation after the allegations rocked the house Tuesday, had not been involved in the sex scandal investigated by the agency.

Tempers ran high on Wednesday too, with PDP members tearing copies of the CBI letter and demanding a judicial probe into the chief minister's alleged involvement. They said his name had figured in the 'shame list' that was part of the high court judgement delivered in the case in 2007 by Justice Bashir Ahmad Kirmani.

When the assembly proceedings started, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members argued that the assembly could not hold its session as there was no government in place following the chief minister's resignation.

While all ministers of the coalition government were present during today's session, Abdullah stayed away.
