Srinagar, Sept 7: Even though the Autumn Assembly session beginning September 30 would have only eight sittings, the opposition parties are all set to have a hard go at the ruling alliance of National Conference and Congress.  
 The opposition parties are likely to corner the alliance on prevailing unrest. The largest opposition with 21 members in Legislative Assembly, PDP is likely to take on the government head on over police and paramilitary CRPF going berserk and killing nearly 69 people. 
 Jammu based parties including BJP and National Panthers Party (NPP), observers believe, would oppose autonomy proposal.
 The Assembly Secretariat has already invited 10 questions from each MLA—five in starred and five in unstarred category.
 Besides, five resolutions and private bills have been called from each MLA though only one each day has been reserved for them in the Assembly calendar that has been issued. Last date for submission of queries (starred as well as un-starred) and private member bill is September 9 while September 14 is the deadline for submission of resolution.
 As per the schedule, there would be only eight sittings in 12 days session called to fulfill the constitutional obligation of assembling the house once in six months. Out of eight sittings of the Assembly beginning September 30 and ending October 11, six have been kept for the Government business.
 As per the calendar, September 30 and October 1 have been fixed for Government business followed by holidays on October 2 and 3. October 4 has been reserved for private member’s resolutions.
 October 5 and 6 have again been fixed for Government business while private member’s bills would be taken up on October 7. The Government business would again be taken up on October 8 and 11 while October 9 and 10 are holidays.
 The Legislative Assembly business would resume after a gap of more than five months after it was adjourned sine die on April 9.
 Pertinently, under section 92 of the J&K Constitution, it is mandatory for the popular government to hold session of the Legislature within six months period.
