The Bharatiya Janata Party State president Mahendra Bhatt has appealed to all the MLAs to rise above partisan lines and participate in a constructive debate in the four-day Assembly session starting on Monday. He said that all members should participate constructively in debate on issues of public concern during the session.
In a statement released to the media on Sunday, Bhatt stated that various bills related to different issues of public welfare are slated to be tabled in the Assembly during this session. As always, the people of Uttarakhand are waiting to see the role of their public representatives in the Assembly. “It is necessary that detailed and healthy debate is held on all technical and practical aspects of all the issues in the house. Considering this, I request all the MLAs to rise above partisan lines and participate in a healthy debate so that the bills tabled in the Assembly are passed and enacted as laws for the betterment of the State and its progress,” the BJP State president stated. He appealed to the opposition MLAs to set aside politics and participate in the debate with an open mind as all want to make Uttarakhand an ideal State as per the aspirations of the people.
In the past too the Assembly has taken historic decisions to pass bills on subjects including anti-copying law, anti-conversion law and reservation for women, among other issues. Still, a number of public expectations have to be passed through the Assembly and the benefit of the same has to be provided to the public. Along with deliberations on development and public welfare works, the Assembly is the best platform for raising issues related to the problems of the public. He expressed hope that along with the ruling party, the opposition MLAs will also make the best use of this important opportunity, Bhatt added.
