The monsoon session of the Haryana Assembly, which is slated to begin on August 20, is likely to be a stormy affair, with the Opposition set to corner the BJP-led government on several issues, including police lodging sedition cases against farmers, rising inflation and unemployment. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly of the Congress party, on Thursday chaired a meeting of Congress Legislature Party (CLP) here to deliberate issues to be raised during the Assembly session. Mr. Hooda said his party’s legislators had given an adjournment motion to discuss the paper leak and recruitment scams. “Apart from this, adjournment motions have also been given to suspend proceedings and discuss issues like the cases of sedition being registered against farmers, damage to crops due to waterlogging, delay in giving tube well connections, rising inflation and unemployment,” he said.
