SRINAGAR: National Conference Monday expressed disappointment at the PDP-BJP Government demeaning the stature and writ of the State Cabinet by referring every administrative decision to New Delhi for prior approval before being approved by the Cabinet.
Referring to the recent failure of the Cabinet to even discuss the Kashmir Police Service restructuring in terms of avenues of promotion of KPS officers at par with their KAS counterparts, NC Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani said the constitution of a Cabinet Subcommittee on this issue is a mere deflection of the Chief Minister standing her ground on this issue.
“Restructuring of the Kashmir Police Service so that young KPS officers have the same parity in terms of promotional avenues as KAS officers is a vital issue and will deliver justice to our young state cadre police officers. Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had been a strong advocate of this restructuring and National Conference has and will continue to support this move. However, if the Government is serious about this issue the Chief Minister should show some bare minimum conviction and get this issue discussed and duly approved by the Cabinet. Referring this decision to New Delhi in the guise of a committee’s report is unfortunate”, the NC Provincial President said.(Agencies)
