SRINAGAR: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma said that the National Conference-led Government is avoiding serious issues concerning the people of Jammu & Kashmir instead of providing clear answers and solutions in the Assembly.

Speaking on the floor of the House, Sharma said that the BJP strongly raised the concerns of NHM employees, ASHA and Anganwadi workers, GRS, technical staff, daily wagers and the youth, many of whom are seeking clarity over employment, outsourcing, regularization and their future prospects, as well as other crucial issues.

He said that the concerns of these sections cannot be brushed aside, particularly when thousands of families depend on these employment opportunities for their livelihood.

The Leader of Opposition also raised the issue of increased power tariffs, stating that rising electricity costs are putting additional pressure on household budgets and affecting ordinary families across Jammu & Kashmir.

“When genuine public concerns are raised in the Assembly, it is the responsibility of the Government to give clear answers. The Opposition will continue to raise the voice of the people and seek accountability from the Government,” Sunil Sharma said.

He further said that employees and workers from different sectors have repeatedly raised concerns regarding their service conditions and employment security, while the youth are seeking meaningful employment opportunities. He said the Government must come forward with a clear roadmap instead of avoiding these issues.

Sharma also referred to the concerns of cooperative bank victims, saying that affected people continue to seek relief and resolution of their grievances.

He said that the BJP will continue to raise issues related to employment, livelihoods, rising costs, basic public services and opportunities for the youth in the Legislative Assembly.

“The BJP will not remain silent on issues affecting the people of Jammu & Kashmir. As a responsible Opposition, we will continue to question the Government, demand answers and ensure that the concerns of the people reach the floor of the House. Our commitment is to the people and their legitimate concerns,” the LoP said.

Sunil Sharma reiterated that the Opposition would continue to discharge its constitutional and democratic responsibility with integrity, commitment and courage, and would continue to seek accountability from the Government on matters concerning the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
