17 NC MLAs issue 15-day ultimatum to address ‘coterie culture’, other issues in party

In a four‑hour session in Srinagar, 17 legislators from the National Conference demanded that the party leadership tackle alleged coterie politics and other grievances within 15 days. The move followed the expansion of the Jammu and Kashmir cabinet by vice‑president Omar Abdullah, which left several senior members feeling sidelined. The lawmakers now seek a broader inclusion of voices in the government.
