Sinha made the remarks at an event in Delhi on a day Chief Minister Omar Abdullah chaired a legislature party meeting here of his National Conference and its allies, including the Congress.

The meeting passed two resolutions, one of which called for all to respect people's mandate, in an apparent disapproval of the Raj Bhavan issuing the transfer and posting orders.

In a short video clip recorded at his Delhi event, the Lt Governor is heard saying, "I would like to make it clear that the J&K Reorganisation Act was passed by Parliament in 2019. And I am saying with great responsibility that I have not done anything outside this Act.

"I am well within my domain and will never do anything outside of that. I know my limits and I will never cross those limits," he says in the clip, which has been widely circulated on social media.
