‘Can officers act as government?’ Congress seeks discussion on CS, Law Secretary letters in J&K Assembly
The Congress party in Jammu and Kashmir assembly wants a debate on letters from the Chief Secretary and Law Secretary, questioning whether officers can act as the government. The BJP legislators walked out in protest over a statehood resolution urging the central government to promptly restore J&K's statehood. The request follows recent tensions after the central government revoked J&K's special status in 2019.
