Srinagar, July 23: National Conference (NC) Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq on Wednesday criticized the Congress party for holding a solo protest demanding statehood without consulting alliance partner NC. He said the NC had earlier led a united campaign for the restoration of statehood with participation from all parties.
On cabinet expansion, Sadiq said the matter rests with the Chief Minister. He also urged the Lieutenant Governor’s office to expedite clearance of the business rules file, which has already received cabinet approval.
Terming the delay in holding Rajya Sabha elections “unfortunate,” he demanded early elections for both the Rajya Sabha and the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.
