Haryana assembly session begins today

The monsoon session of Haryana Vidhan Sabha, starting Friday, will see re-initiation of discussion on the three central farm laws and the issue of registration of cases against protesting farmers.The assembly session, likely to be a short affair, will also give an occasion to the Opposition to question the BJP-JJP regime on examination paper leaks and alleged irregularities in recruitments.Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who chaired a meeting of Congress Legislature Party (CLP) on Thursday, said party MLAs have given an adjournment motion to discuss the issue of paper leaks and recruitment scams.“Besides, we will push for suspension of the proceedings to discuss issues of registration of sedition cases against farmers, damage to crops due to waterlogging, delay in giving tubewell connections, rising inflation and unemployment,” he said.“People of Haryana want answers because they are facing innumerable challenges due to the policies of the BJP-JJP government. The government seems to have its eyes closed,” he said.Hooda said the way the state government hid the actual death toll due to coronavirus and lack of oxygen, it is clear that they are shy of facing the reality.“Today, unemployment, crime and inflation are at peak. Haryana is facing four times more unemployment (28.1%) than the country. Scams are being carried out in the name of employment and government recruitments,” he alleged.As per the list of business for Friday, the opening day of the assembly session will also see introduction of six amendment Bills.These are Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Municipal Areas (Special Provisions) Amendment Bill, the Maharishi Balmiki Sanskrit University, Kaithal (Amendment)Bill, the Haryana Enterprises Promotion (Amendment) Bill, the Haryana Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, Pandit Lakhmi Chand State University of Performing and Visual Arts, Rohtak (Amendment) Bill, and the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Haryana Amendment) Bill.
