LG-led admin delaying files on public welfare measures in IIOJK: Farooq Abdullah
Jammu: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has criticized the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha-led administration, saying that files concerning public welfare and development work are being delayed unnecessarily.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Farooq Abdullah speaking to reporters in Jammu said, “LG Sinha is sitting on files and delaying our government’s work. “If the administration becomes an obstacle instead of a facilitator, how will progress be achieved? The LG must understand that he represents the people’s aspirations, not merely the bureaucracy.”
He said development and governance require coordination between elected representatives and the administration, warning that delays and procedural stagnation were harming public interest. “Governance is not about paperwork and files collecting dust; it is about serving the people on the ground,” he remarked.
Reiterating his long-held view of regional harmony, Farooq Abdullah said Jammu and Kashmir had always been one and would remain united. “Jammu and Kashmir are one, and Jammu will progress along with Kashmir. The people of both regions are bound by shared faith and language, and their unity will remain unshaken,” he said.
On the restoration of statehood, Abdullah said, “Inshallah, it will be completed soon.”
