J&K Assembly session after over 7 years may be stormy

THE maiden Assembly session of Jammu and Kashmir after over seven years is expected to be stormy as issues like Article 370, ban on liquor and reservation disparity are likely to take centre stage and BJP's warning that its legislators won't allow any 'anti-national' bill to be tabled in the House.

The Budget Session will start on Monday with Lt Governor Manoj Sinha's address. The legislators have been instructed to maintain decorum and attentively listen to LG's address, which will start at 10 am.

CM Omar Abdullah, who is also finance minister of J&K, will present the budget. The last budget was presented by then PDP finance minister Dr Haseen Drabu in the Assembly in February 2018.
