A proposal to establish a National Law University (NLU) in Kashmir has triggered protests in Jammu, with law students and some politicians viewing it as a betrayal of Jammu's interests. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned why parity demands were not raised earlier when Jammu received an IIT and IIM. The controversy is compounded by the withdrawal of permission for a medical college in Jammu, with unproven allegations of BJP pressure due to the Muslim majority of admitted students. The NLU location remains unresolved since last October, with the BJP advocating for Jammu.
