JK budget session to begin tomorrow

JAMMU: The budget session of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, starting tomorrow, is expected to be stormy with opposition NC and Congress making it clear they will corner the BJP-PDP Government on its move to grant identity cards to the Hindu refugees from West Pakistan settled in the state.

            The session will begin with Governor N N Vohra’s address to a joint sitting of the legislature and end on February 4. Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu will present the budget on January 9. It will be the third budget of this Government.

            NC, Congress and CPI (M) are set to corner the State Government over the months-long unrest in the Valley, the move to give identity cards to the Hindu refugees settled in the State since partition in 1947, shelling on Pakistan border and terror attacks.

            The SARFAESI (Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act) is also likely to be raised during the month-long session.

            State Congress Chief Gulam Ahnmed Mir has accused the PBD-BJP Government of being “dysfunctional” and said it would be the main issue discussed by his party during the session. (AGENCIES)
