Srinagar, May 31:
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Saturday dismissed speculation surrounding a meeting he has convened with party legislators, saying that those making the most comments about the gathering are the ones who know the least about it.
In a post shared on social media platform X, Omar Abdullah took an apparent swipe at political opponents and commentators who have been speculating about the purpose and outcome of the meeting with National Conference MLAs.
“I love how the people who know the least about the meeting I’ve called with my MLAs are talking the most. Remember one thing – those who know don’t speak and those who speak sit in the opposition,” Abdullah wrote.
The Chief Minister’s remarks come amid growing political discussions and speculation over the significance of the meeting, with various opposition leaders and political observers offering differing interpretations regarding its agenda.
Without revealing specific details, Abdullah indicated that those directly aware of the discussions have maintained silence, while those outside the process, particularly members of the opposition, are engaging in public commentary.
The statement is being viewed as a strong rebuttal to opposition claims and media speculation regarding developments within the ruling National Conference. His remarks suggest that the agenda of the meeting remains an internal party matter and that reports circulating in political circles may not be based on accurate information.
The meeting of National Conference legislators has attracted attention in Jammu and Kashmir’s political landscape, especially amid ongoing debates over governance, restoration of statehood, and relations between the elected government and the Centre.
However, no official details about the deliberations or decisions expected from the meeting have been made public so far.
Political observers believe Abdullah’s comments were intended to send a clear message that speculation should not be mistaken for fact and that any official position emerging from the meeting would be communicated by those directly involved.
Further details regarding the meeting and its outcomes are awaited.(KNC)
