Chartered Flights Issue Triggers Uproar In J & K Assembly

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Jammu- A verbal duel broke out between the ruling NC-Congress and opposition BJP in the Assembly over the issue of chartered flights.

During the Question Hour, MLA Shopian Shabir Kulley raised concerns about the alleged misuse of public funds on chartered flights.

He demanded the constitution of a House Committee to investigate the matter. In its reply to his Cut Motion, the government has claimed that Rs 14 crore expenditure has been incurred on chartered flights.

The NC-Congress MLAs supported the demand for a probe, while BJP legislators accused them of playing to the galleries instead of investigating the allegations, reported news agency KNO.

This led to a heated exchange of arguments between the two sides, lasting over 10 minutes.
