Upset by Centre’s response on business rules, reservation report, Omar Abdullah warns of Gen Z-style agitation in J&K
J&K CM Omar Abdullah accused the Centre of dilly dallying on the issue of Transaction of Business Rules, mandatory to be drafted as per the J&K Reorganisation Act to define the roles and domains of the office of Chief Minister, the Council of Ministers and the Lok Bhavan
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed his concern over the Union government's response to the reservation policy and the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). The IWT, which was signed between India and Pakistan in 1960, has been termed as discriminatory towards J&K by Abdullah. He claimed that the treaty limits the state's ability to use its rivers fully for various purposes, including drinking, irrigation, navigation, and power generation.
The L-G office and the Chief Minister's office have not finalized the rules for the transaction of business, which are essential for the smooth functioning of the elected government. Abdullah accused the Centre of taking a long time to implement the changes in the reservation policy and the draft of the Transaction of Business Rules.
He also mentioned that he would visit Delhi to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah to raise these concerns.
