Srinagar: Former chief minister and National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah hit out at the union government on Saturday over amending the transaction of business of the Government of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir Rules, 2019.

The amendments made by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Friday widened the scope of administrative powers of J&K Lieutenant Governor.

Omar Abdullah said the people of J&K deserve better than a powerless, rubber stamp Chief Minister.

“Another indicator that elections are around the corner in J&K. This is why a firm commitment laying out the timeline for the restoration of full, undiluted statehood for J&K is a prerequisite for these elections. The people of J&K deserve better than a powerless, rubber stamp CM who will have to beg the LG to get his or her peon appointed,” Omar posted on X while reacting to the report that MHA amended the J&K Business Rules.

According to amendments made by the MHA, the proposals relating to the transfer of administrative secretaries and cadre posts of All India Service (AIS) officers will be submitted to the Lieutenant Governor of J&K by the administrative secretary, General Administration Department, through the Chief Secretary.
