Srinagar, September 21: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Monday criticised BJP legislators over their protest during the opening day of the seven-day Autumn Session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.
Reacting to the protests inside the House, Choudhary said the government was ready to respond to questions and concerns raised by legislators on issues affecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Our ministers are here to give answers on any issue, but these people are not ready to listen,” the Deputy Chief Minister said, referring to the protesting BJP members.
Choudhary also urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to take note of the conduct of the BJP legislators in the Assembly.
“I appeal to the people of J&K to see the real face of the BJP MLAs who do not want public welfare works to be done,” he said.
The remarks came amid protests by BJP legislators on the first day of the Autumn Session, with members raising various issues inside the House.
The seven-day session is expected to see discussions on a range of public, developmental and governance-related matters, with legislators from both the treasury and Opposition benches raising issues concerning their constituencies and Jammu and Kashmir as a whole.
