Srinagar: As opposition political parties have demanded postponement of Special session on extension of Goods and Services Tax, the Business Advisory Committee of the Legislative Assembly will decide whether the session is to be held on schedule or deferred.
Sources in Assembly Secretariat said that the BAC will sit in a few days to decide the fate of the session.
The opposition political parties who had attended the All Parties Meeting on GST at SKICC on Tuesday had demanded the session be postponed till the new tax regime is widely debated and a consensus arrived for its extension to Jammu and Kashmir.
The special assembly session on GST is scheduled from June 17 to 21. Though the preparations in the Assembly secretariat are going on for the session, sources said that assembly will sit for one day to hold the obituary session and then the chairman may call off the session till a consensus is reached on the bill.
Sources in the assembly said the law department had issued summon for the session last week. Now it is the prerogative of Speaker Legislative Assembly and Chairman Legislative Council to take a decision about the session, sources said. (KNS)
