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.
It is not even a month since the NC came to power, and Omar's trusted MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, who recently won the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat on NC’s ticket, has created ripples in the political scene of Kashmir.
The Omar Abdullah-led National Conference (NC) government is learnt to have made up its mind to offer the post of deputy speaker to the BJP, the second largest party in the J&K Assembly.
Ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of the National Conference (NC)-Congress coalition government, the President has revoked the central rule in Jammu and Kashmir.
A gazette notification regarding this order was issued by the Union Home Ministry.
Congratulating the National Conference (NC) led alliance for victory in J&K polls, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday stressed that the “Constitution of India is our guiding light and I urge all to work together for growth of J&K and welfare of people”.
