'Please stop': J&K CM flooded with messages from MLAs as cabinet reshuffle in 2-3 days

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced on Saturday that the expansion and reshuffle of his cabinet would take place within the first two to three days of the following week. Upon meeting with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Abdullah sought time to carry out the necessary changes. He confirmed that the list of cabinet ministers has already been finalized.

Abdullah urged his party colleagues and MLAs not to approach him or National Conference President Farooq Abdullah for ministerial positions, stating, "There is no need to knock on Farooq Sahib's door, my door."

The J&K chief minister emphasized that the decision regarding ministerial appointments has already been made, urging his colleagues to exercise patience. Abdullah also urged his colleagues to refrain from sending messages, making phone calls, or approaching party leaders. He asked them to cease sending WhatsApp messages, as he was receiving an overwhelming number of lengthy messages, some even containing full biodatas. Abdullah affirmed that whatever is destined to happen will transpire within the next two to three days.
