SRINAGAR: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma on Mondayaccused the National Conference-led government of avoiding key public issues and failing to provide clear answers on matters affecting various sections of society.
Speaking in the Assembly, Sharma said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had raised concerns related to National Health Mission (NHM) employees, Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers, Anganwadi workers, Gram Rozgar Sevaks (GRSs), technical staff, daily wagers and unemployed youth.
According to Sharma, these groups were seeking clarity on issues such as employment security, outsourcing, regularisation and future career prospects.
He said the concerns of employees and workers could not be ignored as thousands of families depended on these jobs for their livelihoods.
The BJP leader also raised the issue of electricity tariffs, alleging that increased power charges were placing an additional burden on households across Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharma further referred to the grievances of cooperative bank depositors and said affected individuals continued to seek relief and resolution of their concerns.
“When genuine public concerns are raised in the Assembly, it is the responsibility of the government to provide clear answers,” Sharma said, adding that the BJP would continue to raise issues related to employment, livelihoods, public services and opportunities for youth.
He said the opposition would continue to seek accountability from the government and raise matters concerning the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the legislature.
The National Conference-led government had not responded to Sharma’s remarks at the time of issuing the statement.
