Fiery Debates and Crucial Votes: Key Issues in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Session

The upcoming autumn session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is poised for intense discussions. Key matters such as statehood, reservation policy, and daily wage workers' regularization will dominate. The assembly will also vote on four Rajya Sabha seats, and the opposition plans to challenge the National Conference on various topics.

The autumn session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is anticipated to be contentious, with key issues like statehood and the reservation policy taking center stage. Additionally, the assembly is set to address the regularization of thousands of daily wage workers in the union territory.

The nine-day session commences with tributes to former legislators who recently passed away. By Friday, the Legislative Assembly will vote on four Rajya Sabha seats, vacant since 2021, sparking an intense political battle. While ruling party candidates are favored, the contest for the fourth seat, featuring veteran BJP leader Sat Pal Sharma against young NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar, promises drama.

Opposition parties are gearing up to challenge the National Conference on multiple issues, including the restoration of statehood and rationalizing the reservation quota policy. Officials report that MLAs submitted 450 questions and 13 private bills for discussion during this session.
