SRINAGAR: After backlash by opposition over J&K government's defence of new reservation policy in the high court, the National Conference led government on Sunday acknowledged that the affidavit was filed in a wrong manner.

The three-member cabinet sub-committee formed by the government to look into new reservation policy and led by social welfare minister Sakina Itoo held another of its meetings in Srinagar's Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre meeting delegations and taking feedback.

While responding to the criticism of the opposition including People's Democratic Party (PDP) that the government has defended the new reservation policy in high court, Itoo, who is also a senior NC leader, said that the government was committed to work on the reservation issue.

She said that they may file another affidavit in the court if need arises.
