Roll back new appointment rules: Tarigami

The CPI(M) leader said these actions undermine the significance of the upcoming legislature and cabinet, which are expected to be formed soon

The CPI(M) leader said these actions undermine the significance of the upcoming legislature and cabinet, which are expected to be formed soon.

Tarigami said that since 2018, J&K has been under Centre’s 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.

He termed the orders unwarranted and called for their immediate rollback.
