Omar Abdullah Criticizes L-G Interference in J&K

Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, talked about his issues with the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha.

He said that while the central government is generally supportive, the L-G is interfering in areas that should be handled by the elected government.

Abdullah also mentioned his discomfort with J&K being a Union Territory and his disappointment with the delay in restoring statehood.

He discussed other topics like the Election Commission's functioning and the lack of minority representation in the central government.

He also mentioned an incident where Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar pulled a hijab off a student's face, which he found deeply distressing.
