Omar introduces five bills in J-K Assembly
The proposals would raise MLA pay from Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh and update pension rules, while a separate bill targets rule-based governance.
- Following Monday's introduction of five legislative measures, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah withdrew two bills on Tuesday aiming to increase salaries and allowances for ministers and legislators after BJP MLAs objected.
- The proposed revisions aimed to increase the existing total monthly salary of an MLA from Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh, a change previously recommended by a cross-party House committee.
- BJP leader Sham Lal Sharma opposed the legislation, arguing the government should prioritize relief for daily wagers and contractual employees rather than increasing pay for lawmakers.
- The Assembly passed a separate bill on Tuesday to amend the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislature Members' Pension Act, 1984, by voice vote, despite withdrawing the salary measures.
- During the Autumn Session, Abdullah introduced legislation to amend the Goods and Services Tax Act and foster ease of doing business by replacing permission-based controls with rule-based governance.
