Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, who arrived in Dharamshala for the winter session of the Vidhan Sabha on Tuesday, said the government was fully prepared for the session and urged the opposition to raise issues of public concern for the benefit of the people of the state.
Speaking to media persons in Dharamshala, the Chief Minister reiterated that the government was ready for the winter session and called on the opposition to focus on constructive discussions rather than disruptions. He emphasised that instead of creating a ruckus and staging walkouts, the opposition must fulfil its responsibilities in the House by participating in meaningful debates. Sukhu remarked that during the last few sessions of the Vidhan Sabha, the opposition had a tendency to raise issues in the House but stage walkouts during the ministers' replies. He urged the opposition to responsibly adhere to constitutional norms and perform their duties within the House. He further stated that the opposition remains divided on various issues and lacks coordination. In response to a media query, the Chief Minister alleged that some BJP MLAs were plotting against Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur, which is why he was absent from the all-party meeting held earlier in the day. Sukhu noted that it is customary for the Vidhan Sabha Chairman to convene a meeting of all party representatives before the session begins. He added that if Jai Ram Thakur was unable to attend due to some reason, he should have deputed another party representative, but this did not happen, which was a violation of established norms.
