Indian actions undermining IIOJK political executive’s powers: Jairam Ramesh
New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday attacked BJP as Prime Minister Narendra Modi headed to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), and accused the NDA government of attempting to infringe on the political executive’s power’s.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Modi is moving to Srinagar and Katra for rallies and Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh posed three questions to him. ‘Why is the ndian Government “attempting to infringe” on Kashmir political executive’s powers; In July 2024, the Home Ministry amended the rules under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, giving powers to make decisions on crucial matters such as police and all-India services officers and granting sanctions for prosecution in various cases solely to the Union Government appointed Lieutenant Governor (LG)’, Ramesh pointed out. “By curtailing the J&K political executive’s policing and administrative powers, the Home Ministry has severely compromised the functioning of the future J&K Government,” he said, adding, If the Indian government is sincere in giving complete statehood to the people of IIOJK, then why is it continuing to compromise the to-be state government’s powers.
