In a move that has sparked intense political interest in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has called a meeting of National Conference (NC) MLAs and allied independents next week.
Stressing that the government elected by an overwhelming majority in Jammu and Kashmir cannot be ignored, nor can hurdles be justified in its functioning, National Conference (NC) president Dr. Farooq Abdullah has warned that the dual system of governance in this sensitive region could lead to instability and chaos.
In a statement, Dr. Farooq said that the protests reflected the deep emotional anguish felt by many people in Jammu and Kashmir over the developments in Iran, a country with which the people of the region share long-standing cultural and spiritual connections.
The police have begun the process of a security audit of mosques, madrassas, and those involved in managing these religious institutions after busting the ‘white-collar’ terror module involving doctors.
The NC leadership paid floral tributes to Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, offering prayers and floral tributes at his mausoleum at Naseem Bagh in Srinagar.
Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (NC) president and former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah on Friday ruled out 'unity' between his party and the BJP.
Hitting out at the BJP, the National Conference (NC) President, Dr. Farooq Abdullah said that the saffron party excels in rhetoric, but when it comes to action, they fall short.
Speaking to reporters during her visit to Budgam district, Mehbooba expressed dissatisfaction with the resolution, stating that it failed to address the abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019.
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, on Wednesday, described the resolution on the restoration of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir moved by the National Conference (NC) in the legislative assembly as “half-hearted” and “lacking conviction”.
The resolution, passed by voice vote, urged the Centre to engage in dialogue with elected representatives to restore the region's special status.
