UT model flawed: NC MLA on need for LG’s nod for money bill

National Conference spokesperson and Zadibal MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Sunday again demanded restoration of statehood in Jammu and Kashmir while terming the union territory model “flawed” after he was asked by the assembly secretariat to get approval from lieutenant governor for a private member bill against drug abuse before introducing the same in the assembly. The assembly secretariat has asked Zadibal MLA Tanvir Sadiq to get nod of lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha for a money bill. Sadiq said he had intended to introduce ‘The Jammu and Kashmir War Against Drug Abuse and Compulsory Teaching of Ill Effects of Drug Addiction in Schools Bill, 2025’, but was asked to approach Raj Bhavan as it qualifies as a money bill. “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,” he said.
