Srinagar, February 01 (STC): National Conference (NC) leader and MLA Salman Ali Sagar said while expressing himself on the Union Budget 2025 calls it is premature to comment on it. “We will review the entire budget and assess its impact accordingly. There will be no immediate conclusions. The budget has just been presented, and we will carefully evaluate it,” Salman said during his interaction with media persons.
However, he emphasized that there should have been a specific focus on employment, which is a critical issue. “Unfortunately, this has not been adequately addressed,” he remarked.
Keeping his statement not only confined to the Budget affairs, Salman talked about commitments made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi concerning Jammu and Kashmir. “The Prime Minister understands the importance of his promises, and we are expecting a special package for Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.(STC)
