Orders of appointments undermine new Cabinet: CPI (M)

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR Oct 12: CPI(M) leader and MLA-elect Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami has expressed serious concern over the issuance of new orders regarding appointments and service matters by the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Jammu and Kashmir, just days before the formation of the new Legislature and Cabinet.
The CPI (M) leader said that these actions undermine the significance of the new upcoming Legislature and Cabinet, which are expected to be formed soon.
He pointed out that since 2018, Jammu and Kashmir has been under Central rule, and such orders should have been issued in previous years. He questioned the timing of the LG’s decisions, suggesting that these matters should have been left for the elected representatives to handle.
Describing the new orders as “unwarranted,” Tarigami called for their immediate rollback, emphasizing the need to respect the democratic process as the region prepares for a new Legislative Assembly and new Government.
