J&K still is a Union territory; don’t try to escape from this reality: Omar Abdullah to Opposition

Deccan Chronicle  

SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday asked the opposition members not to try to escape from the reality of Jammu and Kashmir still being a Union Territory in their bid to run his government down or score political points over it. So let us not politicise this,” Mr. Abdullah said in the J&K Assembly after opposition People’s Conference leader Sajad Gani Lone staged a walkout over the use of the term “Union Territory” in the draft of a bill seeking an amendment in the J&K Goods and Services tax Act, 2017. Mr. Lone who represents the Handwara Assembly constituency, however, justified his waking out of the House saying the purpose of the bill was to insert the word J&K UT instead of J&K state and “I want to make it clear that the passage of the bill is tantamount to endorsement of the UT status of J&K.” He said that he tried to protest but given the massive mandate that the people of J&K have given to Mr. Abdullah’s National Conference “my voice was drowned out and I walked out”. This government governs as a Union Territory.” As People’s Democratic Party member Waheed Ur Rehman Parra also raised his concern about what he alleged was the endorsement of J&K’s UT status, the Chief Minister said, “All the business conducted by this house so far has been under the name of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Whenever I go to Delhi, I bring it up, that the people of J&K do not like the Union Territory status and want the restoration of statehood,” he said.
