Congress is not a part of our government... J&K CM Omar's big statement

CM Omar Abdullah: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, while talking to the media on Friday, made statements on many important issues, which have become the center of discussion about the politics and administrative system of the state. He spoke openly on his relationship with the Congress, the special status of the state, political prisoners and issues related to security forces.

Status of alliance with Congress clear

Omar Abdullah clarified that Congress is not a part of his government, but is supporting it from outside. He said, "Congress and National Conference fought the elections together, but our government got absolute majority. Now Congress's support is from outside, which makes it clear that we can take independent decisions."

Stand on the special status of the state

On the issue of special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar said that this proposal has been passed by majority in the assembly and is still effective. He told that Congress had also supported this proposal. Citing the statements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Omar raised the question, "If there was nothing in the proposal, then why is it a topic of discussion among national leaders?"

Views on political prisoners and law and order

Speaking on the release of political prisoners, Omar said it was under the jurisdiction of the central government. However, he assured that the state government has taken concrete steps to simplify the verification process. "Our government has ensured that the verification process is not used as a weapon," Omar said.

Cabinet meeting and formation of new committee

Giving details of the cabinet meeting held on Friday, Omar said a three-member cabinet sub-committee has been formed. This committee will recommend making the reservation policy more practical based on the directions of the Supreme Court.

Alleged atrocities on civilians in Kishtwar

On the issue of alleged atrocities by security forces in Kishtwar, Omar said there should be a fair investigation into the matter. He appealed to the army that if any kind of misbehavior is proved, the culprits should be given strict punishment. He expressed relief that there was no loss of life in the incident.

Government's stand on power crisis

On the question of power cuts in winter, Omar Abdullah said that he has instructed the power department to keep the cuts to a minimum in areas with less power theft. He expressed hope that the power situation in Kashmir will improve this winter.

Future direction

Omar Abdullah also indicated that his government will give priority to the release of political prisoners after the restoration of statehood. He said that his government is committed to solving the problems of the people and giving new impetus to the development of the state.

Conclusion
