National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah on Friday asked bureaucrats in Jammu and Kashmir to resist any pressure to “further disempower” the incoming elected government.

“The BJP has clearly accepted defeat in J&K. Why else would the Chief Secretary be assigned the duty to change transaction of business rules of the government to curtail the powers of the Chief Minister/elected government and assign the same to the L-G?” Abdullah said in a post on X.

The former CM of the erstwhile state of J&K said he has received information internal from the civil secretariat about the L-G administration’s move. “Officers would be well advised to resist any pressure to further disempower the incoming elected government,” Abdullah added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
