Srinagar, September 21: CPI(M) leader and MLA Kulgam Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said that Question Hour in the list of the business of the legislature is the most important part of the proceedings which enable the members to question and seek answers from the government and make it accountable.
Stalling of the Question Hour virtually deprives the legislators of an important opportunity to make the government responsive to the urges and aspirations of the people. Intervening in the mid of slogan raising by BJP members, Tarigami urged all legislators, irrespective of political affiliations, to jointly press the Government of India to fulfil its repeated commitment to restore full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
The legislature itself is disempowered and thereby citizens feel disappointed. It is time, that all the legislators irrespective of their affiliations must unitedly raise their voice in support of this legitimate and long pending demand of the people.
