New Delhi: Amid ruckus over Opposition demand for Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe in the Adani issue, the Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a Rs 1.118 lakh crore budget for the financial year 2023-24 for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. After the House met again at 2 pm after the first adjournment, Rajindra Agrawal, who was chairing the proceedings, asked BJP MP Jugal Kishore Sharma to initiate the discussion on the budget for the Union Territory, which is under central rule at present.
Sharma spoke for a minute after which the process to pass the budget was initiated. The budget for Jammu and Kashmir was passed by a voice vote amid the din.
