Jammu and Kashmir Congress Declines Cabinet Offer Pending Statehood Restoration
The Jammu and Kashmir Congress has declined the National Conference's offer to join the Omar Abdullah-led cabinet, insisting on the restoration of statehood and constitutional rights over land, jobs, and resources before accepting any ministerial positions. While supporting the government from outside, Congress leaders, including Tariq Hameed Karra, emphasized their principled stand against recent policy decisions like the power tariff hike. The National Conference faces internal pressure to expand the cabinet amid limited vacancies and ongoing alliance tensions.
