J-K Assembly Withdraws Two Bills to Amend Salaries of Ministers, MLAs
BJP objections forced the Assembly to drop the pay measure, which would have raised an MLA’s monthly salary from Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh.
- On Tuesday, the J-K Assembly withdrew two bills to amend salaries for ministers and legislators after BJP MLAs raised objections to the proposed increases.
- The proposed legislation sought to increase the total monthly salary for MLAs from Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh, following deliberations during an earlier Assembly session on remuneration.
- BJP leader Sham Lal Sharma opposed the bills, arguing the government should prioritize daily wagers, while Chief Minister Omar Abdullah noted the House committee had unanimously recommended the increases.
- While the salary bills were withdrawn, the House passed a separate bill to amend the Pension Act by voice vote, as members from both benches argued this legislation should proceed.
- Future adjustments to remuneration and pensions require completion of the full legislative process before becoming final, with the government emphasizing the need for broad political consensus in the Assembly.
