In a significant political development, a high-level Congress delegation led by AICC National General Secretary and Incharge for J&K, Syed Naseer Hussain, met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today to discuss the evolving political scenario in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Accompanied by senior Congress leaders G. A. Mir and J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra, the delegation held a productive meeting with Omar Abdullah at his official residence in Srinagar.
🧭 Key Focus: INDIA Bloc, Governance, and Coalition Dynamics
According to top sources privy to the discussions, the meeting primarily focused on the current political landscape in J&K, particularly the role of the INDIA bloc and ongoing coalition coordination between the Congress and the National Conference (NC).
“The leaders emphasized the need for joint efforts to address the challenges faced by the coalition government and to honour the promises made in their manifestoes,” a source confirmed.
🧑💼 Digvijay Singh’s Role and Future Dialogue
