Srinagar, Nov 04: Amid indications of a cabinet expansion in Jammu & Kashmir, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Tariq Hamid Karra on Tuesday reiterated that the party will not join the council of ministers until the restoration of statehood.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters, as per the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Karra said that Congress will not join the cabinet. \u201cWe have a principled stand that as long as Jammu and Kashmir doesn\u2019t get statehood, we will not be part of the cabinet,\u201d Karra said.<\/p>\n
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had last month stated that he is actively considering a cabinet expansion and added that more ministers would be inducted once the Jammu and Kashmir by-elections conclude.<\/p>\n
Asked about his views on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah\u2019s statement that reservation would be set as per the Supreme Court directive, the PCC chief advocated for proportionate representation of different communities based on their population.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best solution has been prescribed by Rahul Gandhi, who has said that a community should get representation according to its population. That is the best solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On Monday, CM Omar had said that the government will comply with the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling that reservations should not exceed 50 per cent. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
