Farooq Abdullah Says J&K L-G Is Stalling Files, Urges PM to Restore Statehood

The remarks escalate a long-running tussle over administrative control, with no response reported from the Lieutenant Governor’s office.

Overview

  • Abdullah alleged that Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha is holding up scores of government files, including those on business rules that define the elected government's powers.
  • He said the delays amount to interference in day-to-day governance and urged closer coordination between elected officials and the administration.
  • He challenged the L-G’s assertion that SKIMS retains autonomy, calling the claim a “complete lie.”
  • He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for swift restoration of statehood and asked for timely support for people affected by recent storms.
  • He emphasized Jammu–Kashmir unity and voiced confidence in the National Conference’s prospects in the Budgam and Nagrota by-elections.
