The formal invitation names specific representatives from each party: National Conference leaders Ali Muhammad Sagar and Mubarak Gul, CPI(M) legislator Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir, Peoples Conference chief Sajad Gani Lone, PDP leader Mir Muhammad Fayaz and Independent MLA Choudhary Muhammad Akram.
Jammu and Kashmir's Legislative Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather has called an all-party meeting for September 17 ahead of the House's 10-day autumn session starting September 21, according to Assembly Secretariat. The meeting at 2 p.m. will include opposition leaders and representatives from six parties — National Conference, CPI(M), Congress, Peoples Conference, PDP, and an independent legislator — to discuss governance and administrative issues affecting the territory.
All-Party Gathering Ahead of Autumn Session
Speaker Rather is convening the meeting to coordinate proceedings before the September 21 session begins, JK News Today reported. The gathering will include formal representatives from each party: Ali Muhammad Sagar and Mubarak Gul from National Conference, Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami from CPI(M), Ghulam Ahmad Mir from Congress, Sajad Gani Lone from Peoples Conference, Mir Muhammad Fayaz from PDP, and independent MLA Choudhary Muhammad Akram.
Members of the Business Advisory Committee will also attend the September 17 meeting. The gathering aims to set rules and procedures for the 10-day session, ensuring smooth functioning of Assembly debates and legislative business.
Government Will Push Four Bills in Session
The autumn session calendar allocates four days to government business, three days to private members' bills and resolutions, and two additional days for private members' bills, according to Brighter Kashmir. The government plans to introduce four bills during the session, making official legislation the main focus of the 10-day period.
Private members' bills rarely pass due to procedural hurdles and time constraints. With just three dedicated days, opposition parties will have limited opportunity to push their own legislative proposals, shifting attention to the government's planned bills.
BJP Prepares Strategy Separately in Jammu
While the all-party meeting proceeds, the BJP is holding its own preparatory session ahead of the Assembly session. KNS Kashmir reported that BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Kumar Sharma will chair the party's meeting at BJP headquarters in Jammu on Tuesday to coordinate the party's strategy for the autumn session.
The BJP's separate coordination suggests the party plans its own agenda distinct from broader all-party discussions. Opposition parties are expected to raise governance and administrative concerns during the September 17 all-party meeting, potentially setting the tone for debates during the session.
