‘Misleading’, HM Amit Shah On Omar Abdullah’s Claim on Assigning of Business Rules in J&K Assembly To LG

Srinagar: Responding to charges of former Chief Minister of erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah, claiming that BJP was changing business rules to shift power to Lieutenant Governor, incumbent Home Minster Amit Shah said that the JKNC Vice President’s ‘X’ post was misleading and that there was not even an iota of truth even as there was absolutely no such proposal by the Government of India.

“Mr. @OmarAbdullah’s tweet is misleading and speculative in nature. There is not even an iota of truth, as there is absolutely no such proposal. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 passed by the Parliament of India provides for notifying the transaction of business rules, and the same was notified in the year 2020,” Shah said in an ‘X’ post.

“The people of J&K have wholeheartedly supported the efforts of the Government of India to bring in a democratically elected government through the historic free and fair election process in which the citizens participated enthusiastically,” the post, as per Alfaaz – The Words, further reads.

Notably, Omar Abdullah, had in an ‘X’ post earlier in the day written, “The BJP has clearly accepted defeat in J&K. Why else would the Chief secretary be assigned the duty to change transaction of business rules of the government to curtail the powers of the Chief minister / elected government and assign the same to the LG?”

” This information has come to me from within the Secretariat. Officers would be well advised to resist any pressure to further disempower the incoming elected government,” he added.
