Srinagar, September 21: President of the All J&K Shia Association and General Secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference, Imran Reza Ansari, today urged the members of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly to utilise the limited sitting days of the ongoing session for substantive debate, public accountability and discussion on issues affecting people across the Union Territory.
In a post on X, Imran Reza Ansari wrote, The J&K Assembly has only a few sitting days, and the next session may be 5/6 months away. Politicians have the whole year to accuse each other, play victim cards and score brownie points. Please don’t let precious Assembly time be lost to protests that force the House to adjourn.”
“I request the Hon’ble CM, Leader of Opposition, Speaker and every MLA: let democracy flourish through debate, questions and accountability. Reservation, Job Outsourcing, pending recruitment, interns/ PG/ SKUAST students stipends, daily wagers, contractual employees, unemployment, drug addiction, rehabilitation, youth mental health, education, sports, healthcare, water shortages, electricity, roads, public transport, entrepreneurship, tourism, horticulture, pollution and our dying water bodies, people are suffering and going from door to door for solutions,” the post reads.
“Many of these issues do not require statehood. They require decisions, lawful action, timelines and accountability. The government has powers today; the Assembly has the authority to question it today,” he added.
“The youth are watching. The educated people of J&K are watching. The unemployed and hopeless are watching. They don’t want another day of political point-scoring they want their representatives to make these few days count,” he said .
“Today it may be BJP protesting. Tomorrow it may be someone else. The House should not become a place where every protest ends in an adjournment. Let the debate continue. Let democracy work. Let the people see results,” Ansari added.
