Omar Abdullah faces internal revolt as party MP threatens protest over quota

India Today  

An internal revolt seems to have surfaced within the National Conference, the ruling party in Jammu and Kashmir, over the state's reservation policy, as a party MP threatened to protest against Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. NC MP Syed Aga Ruhullah announced that he would stage a sit-in protest outside the Chief Minister’s residence, accusing Abdullah's government of failing to pressure the Centre to revoke the recent amendments regarding OBC and ST reservation. The MP, Ruhullah, had issued an ultimatum to the Omar Abdullah government asking it to address the matter before December 22. “Your government is doing what any responsible government would do - making sure everyone is heard & a fair decision arrived at after completing due process,” the Chief Minister added.
