JKSA writes to assembly speaker

Jammu, Mar 26: National Convenor of J&K Students Association (JKSA) Nasir Khuehami, on Wednesday, wrote to the Speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Abdul Rahim Rather regarding adherence to established parliamentary norms within the House, a press release said.

He emphasized the need for ministers to independently prepare their responses and articulate them in a manner comprehensible to the common public, rather than merely reading out answers prepared by bureaucrats from the concerned departments.

Khuehami stated that, as per the rules and principles governing legislative proceedings, ministers and legislative members are required to demonstrate their understanding of policy matters and governance issues. The rules further emphasise that ministers should refrain from excessively relying on papers, as doing so reflects a lack of seriousness and a casual approach toward the pressing concerns raised by MLAs.
