This is the first time in the history of the state assembly that the members of the House will get the facility of zero hour.
The deadlock between the government and the Opposition during the Monsoon session continued on Monday.
The drone surveillance echoed in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Friday after Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur raised serious concerns.
Spar between the ruling and opposition parties in the House erupted on this issue and the opposition members, dissatisfied with the answer of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, also raised slogans in the House and then walked out of the House.
Shortly after the chief minister mentioned about giving a monthly allowance to women of the state, the entire Opposition stood up and started demanding clarification from the government on the matter.
The schedule of visits of polling parties should be intimated in advance to the representatives of the candidates and the voters themselves.
When it comes to distribution of tickets, parties ignore their female leaders with the excuse that they are not winnable candidates. It is sheer gender discrimination as a result of which women are missing from policies and programmes.
The house resumed after five minutes but as it was private members day and proceedings could not be extended, the house was adjourned for the day at 5 pm.
“The state government is concerned over the issue and has even constituted a committee under Chief Secretary to examine the entire issue,” he said.
