Srinagar, May 30: In a significant political development, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has called a meeting of National Conference (NC) legislators on Wednesday to deliberate on what he has referred to as ‘matters of collective importance’ and ‘issues concerning public welfare.’
Sources said that the Chief Minister has personally invited all party MLAs to attend the meeting.
According to sources, Omar Abdullah has written to the legislators that the meeting will deliberate on matters of collective importance and public welfare.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at the Chief Minister’s Gupkar residence on June 3 at 10:00 AM.
The meeting assumes significance as Omar Abdullah had earlier hinted at making a major political statement after Eid. Speaking at a function in Tangmarg on May 6, the Chief Minister said he wanted to “burst like a cloudburst” but added that he would speak openly at a public gathering after Eid.
While the specific agenda of the meeting is not known, the mention of “matters of collective importance” in the invitation suggests that broader issues such as J&K’s statehood could be discussed.
CM Omar Abdullah had also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on May 11 and discussed issues related to the restoration of statehood, transaction of business rules, rationalisation of reservation, and other key matters connected to public welfare, well-being, and governance. (KNO)
