Sajad Lone slams J&K govt for seeking dismissal of reservation petition before HC

Srinagar, April 05: Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference President and MLA Handwara, Sajad Lone, has slammed the government lead by Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, for seeking dismissal of a petition related to reservations in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a post on X, the People’s Conference leader said that the Jammu and Kashmir government has filed an affidavit before the High Court, making a plea that the petition on reservations in Jammu and Kashmir is frivolous and should be dismissed.

“In an affidavit filed before the J & K High Court yesterday by J&K Government in the case of Zahoor Ahmed Bhat and others vs UT of J & K, pertaining to reservations, J&K government has submitted that the petition is frivolous and sought its outright dismissal,” the post read.

Former Minister Lone said that the government has not mentioned the formation of a sub-committee on reservations. “This is a legal mystery. Seems the government is not taking its own committee serious enough to merit a mention in its legal affidavit,” he said.
