“Members of the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council must get the opportunity to put forth their views and to debate the issues threadbare in the August house, so that issues of every nature can be addressed.

Knowing that Members would not able to discuss everything during short session former Chief Minister got the construction work of complex done on Fast Track basis, just to give opportunity to the Members to identify the problems with regard to people and Development of State, for their resolution.
JKPCC chief said that no Chief Minister of the State except Ghulam Nabi Azad could manage to complete the construction of much needed Assembly Complex in Srinagar.
