NC leader highlights ‘systemic flaws’ of UT model after his Bill on drug abuse returned
JAMMU, Mar 3 (PTI): National Conference leader and MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Sunday highlighted the ‘systemic flaws’ of the Union Territory model after his Private Members Bill on drug abuse was returned by the Assembly secretariat, citing the need for obtaining approval from the Lt Governor.
“I had intended to introduce a crucial Bill – The Jammu and Kashmir war against drug abuse and compulsory teaching of ill effects of drug addiction in schools bill, 2025” (LA Bill – Private Members, Bill No. 2 of 2025).
“However, since it involves financial matters and qualifies as a Money Bill, I have been informed that I must seek the advice of the Law and Parliamentary Affairs Department and obtain approval from the lieutenant governor before proceeding further,” Sadiq said in a post on X.
