Omar appeals protesting employees to call-off strike, BJP stages walkout

Jammu, Mar 25 : The Legislative Assembly on Tuesday witnessed uproarious scenes over protests of dailywagers with treasury benches and opposition raising slogans against each other.

After the Question Hour concluded, Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma said that he had raised concerns over the ongoing strike of dailywagers yesterday also in the House but there has been no response from the government over it.

“The government should make a statement over it,” Sharma demanded.

Responding to Sharma, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary accused BJP of failing to resolve the issues of dailywagers in the last 10 years.

“We formed a committee within days to resolve the issues of dailywagers. Why you (BJP) didn’t form a committee to address their grievances in the past 10 years,” he said.

The remarks of deputy CM triggered a war of words between BJP and the ruling NC – Congress members.

Amid commotion in the House, BJP’s Sham Lal Sharma said that the “government should behave like a government”.

As protests continued, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that BJP has agreed that there has been no justice with daily wagers over 10 years.

“I appeal to daily wagers to call-off the strike. The committee headed by CS officers and bureaucrats will hold talks with you,” he said.

Later, the BJP legislators staged a walkout from the House—(KNO)
