'Interference' by LG's office: NC leader asks Delhi to intervene
The Statesman Siliguri
|June 22, 2025
Hours after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah urged Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha to approve the Business Rules listing powers of the elected government and remove the confusion in the administration, Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President of the ruling National Conference (NC), on Saturday flagged the "continued interference by the office of Lt Governor in the functioning of the democratically elected government headed by Omar Abdullah".
Gupta termed the situation as "undemocratic, unconstitutional, and deeply troubling" for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Interacting with senior party functionaries here, Gupta said: "India is a democratic country where governments are elected by the people, and their mandate must be respected. The people of J&K have chosen their representatives with the hope that, as assured by the Prime Minister and Home Minister, full statehood would be restored and the democratic machinery would function smoothly. But unfortunately eight months have passed, and the Centre has miserably failed to restore the statehood to J&K and the LG Office has still not sent back the Business Rules to the elected government."

Awaiting the grand finale
It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
