Jammu and Kashmir Congress Declines Cabinet Role Pending Statehood Restoration
The Jammu and Kashmir Congress has declined to join Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's cabinet, insisting that restoration of statehood and constitutional rights on land and jobs must precede any participation. While continuing to support the National Conference-led government from outside, Congress leaders, including Tariq Hamid Karra, emphasized their principled stance and opposition to policies like power tariff hikes. The cabinet expansion faces challenges amid limited vacancies and internal party pressures within the National Conference.
