Lt Guv summons J&K Legislative Assembly session on Oct 23
SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, has summoned Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly to meet in Srinagar on October 23, 2025, at 10 AM, an official spokesman said Saturday.
As per the summon issued by Secretary J&K Legislative Assembly, the Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 18(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019, has summoned the Jammu and Kashmir legislative Assembly to meet at Srinagar on Thursday, the 23rd October, 2025 at 10.00 AM.
The summon further reads that in terms of Rule 3 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, all the Members are requested to kindly make it convenient to attend the Session of the Legislative Assembly on the appointed date, time and place.
Meanwhile, the Legislative Assembly Secretariat announced that each MLA can submit up to 10 questions, two resolutions, and one bill for the upcoming autumn session of the House.
According to a bulletin issued by the LA Secretariat each MLA is permitted to submit 10 questions-five starred and five unstarred-along with two resolutions and one bill.
The deadlines for submission are October 4 for questions and bills, and October 7 for resolutions.
The upcoming autumn session of the Assembly is expected to be stormy, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the largest opposition party, led by Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, poised to corner the government over a range of issues including floods, unemployment, and the government’s ‘failure’ to deliver on electoral promises.
Meanwhile, Kashmir-based smaller opposition parties, which have a minimal presence in the House, may challenge the government on issues such as statehood and reservation.
The ruling National Conference (NC)-led alliance, currently in a combative mode—with Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary and Minister for Health & Medical Education Sakina Itoo actively countering opposition parties-is expected to go all out against the opposition, particularly the Kashmir-based smaller parties, for their past actions.
