Omar Abdullah Warns of Protests Over Pending Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Policy
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has warned of potential Gen Z-style protests if the Union Territory's reservation policy revisions remain unresolved. He expressed frustration over delays by the Centre and Lieutenant Governor's office in finalizing the reservation report and Transaction of Business Rules, which define governance roles. Abdullah plans to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah to address these issues. The reservation policy, revised under the Lieutenant Governor, currently allocates 60% to reserved categories and 40% to the open category, with ongoing political debate over its impact.
