NC President Says Omar Abdullah Raised Attacks on Kashmiri Buses With Haryana CM, Calls for Action Against Miscreants
Budgam, October 19 :
National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday said the much-awaited Cabinet expansion in Jammu and Kashmir would take place after the Lieutenant Governor returns, attributing the delay to his health condition.
Addressing a workers’ convention in Budgam, Abdullah said the Cabinet expansion had not taken place as the Lieutenant Governor had been unwell.
“There has been no Cabinet expansion because the Lieutenant Governor has been unwell. The expansion will take place when he returns,” Abdullah said.
His remarks come amid continued attention on the expansion of the Council of Ministers in Jammu and Kashmir, with the issue remaining significant in the region’s political landscape.
