PDP Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) Waheed Para said, “Ladakh secured 85% job reservation for locals without even a legislative Assembly. Ladakhi leaders worked, engaged, and delivered. Meanwhile, 8-months on, the J&K’s government, with an absolute majority, remains inactive.” He has previously criticised the government for not advocating for statehood with the central government.
Para also targeted the National Conference (NC) for passing a resolution on special status and statehood outside the J&K Assembly. The issue of statehood remains contentious, with the central government assuring that it will be granted at the appropriate time.
Para said: “So, the NC, armed with a brute mandate of 50 MLAs, passed a resolution on special status and statehood—not in the J&K Assembly, where such matters belong, but in its party office, Nawai-i-Subh. Let that sink in. What’s next? A Cabinet meeting in the party office?”
