Commotion in LA over first bill of NC -led government

Sajad Lone stages walkout, says it is ratification of UT status of J&K

Jammu: The first legislation brought by the NC-led government  in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly triggered protests from Kashmir-based opposition, with Peoples Conference President Sajad Gani Lone accusing the government of endorsing UT Status of J&K.

As Omar Abdullah tabled Jammu & Kashmir Goods and Services (Amendment) Act-2025 in the House, as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO),Lone stood up and objected to the legislation.

“It would be an endorsement of conversion of Jammu & Kashmir into a UT. I wouldn’t be part of this sin,” Lone said angrily and walked out.

PDP’s Waheed-ur-Rehman Para also expressed reservation over the bill.

In the amendments proposed by NC-led government in the GST law, the words “Government of Jammu & Kashmir” has been replaced with “Government of Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir”

After Lone walked out, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that it is a reality that Jammu & Kashmir is a Union Territory.

Later, the bill was passed with voice—vote with NC, Congress and their allies supporting it—(KNO)
