BJP MLAs Stage Walkout in J-K Assembly Over Daily Wage Regularization Demands
The leader of the opposition, BJP’s Sunil Sharma, raised concerns about the regularization of daily wagers and sought a response from the government. Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather urged members to keep the proceedings orderly, noting that a committee led by the chief secretary has already been established to investigate the regularization issue, with a report expected within six months.
Addressing senior BJP legislator Sham Lal Sharma, members from the treasury benches questioned him on why he had not facilitated the regularization of daily wagers during his tenure as the PHE minister.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah urged the protesting daily wagers to resume their duties and to present their claims to the committee chaired by the chief secretary. He stated, “I appeal to the protesting daily wagers to return to work while the committee completes its task and submits its report.”
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary accused BJP MLAs of orchestrating the protests for media attention, sparking a heated confrontation between the treasury and opposition benches. Members of the treasury benches emphasized that the police, who were responsible for the baton charge on protesters, are under the jurisdiction of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Lt Governor, not the elected government of the Union Territory.
Amidst the commotion, BJP members left the assembly chanting slogans against the government. Additionally, Peoples Conference MLA Sajad Lone exited the Assembly in protest against a proposed amendment to Section 2 of the Goods and Services Tax Act (GST), which aimed to replace “J&K State” with “J&K UT.” He argued that this change implied an endorsement of Jammu and Kashmir’s Union Territory status and questioned why the Assembly was being consulted now, given that there was no consultation prior to the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A or the reclassification of J&K as a UT.
In response to Lone’s protest, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah clarified that the amendment bill does not endorse the changes made by the BJP government on August 5, 2019. He expressed that during his discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, he has consistently advocated for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood and does not support the alterations enacted on August 5, 2019.
