Several parties of Jamm and Kashmir, including the ruling National Conference (NC) and the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday (11 August 2025) caused the stand of the Lieutenant and Government (LG) “LEGE.
“When Jammu and Kashmir have a elected government with an absolute majority, he bypass her to leave the Handpick Handpick members, is not a management, it is a contempt for people.
Former Chief Minister and President PDP Mehboob Muftti also expressed her dismay about the center of the center. “The Indian government decide nominate five Mla in Jammu and Kashmir after the elections is obvious by the subverting of democratic principles. Nowhere else in the country is not the legislature of the center,” the MS said. Muftti, “in the Indian single Muslim region, which is less as a government and more as a control as a control.

Mrs. Mufti urged Minister Omar Abdullah to fight. “This cannot be allowed to become the norm. He hopes that the government of Mr. Abdullah is rising to this occasion by attacking this undemocratic precedent, because silence would now be involved later,” Mr Mfti said.
The leader of the CPI (M) and Kulgam Mla Tarigami also questioned the justification of the Ministry of Home for the authorization of LG. “It is a clear attempt to undermine the electoral democratic process in the region. This step is the next step in eroding democratic standards. LG itself is an unleashed nominated government and gives him the power to appoint members to the assembly contrary to the spirit of representative democracy,” Tarigami said.
He said earlier that the center had made a definition in Jammu and Kashmir, that “gerrymandering”. “There were no established standards during the definition. Kashmir, although it had a larger population, was given only one other chair, while the other region gained six seats. This process threatened the justice of our election system,” he said.
Mr Tarigami stated that the provisions for nomination of members, “especially unmarried LG,” further worsen the situation “.
According to the amended section 15 of the Act on the reorganization of Jamm and Kashmir from 2019, LG has powers to nominate five members of a woman, two Kashmir Pandits and one Pakistanian inhabitants of Jammu and Kashmir-to the Assembly. Most of the parties opposed this step and claimed that in the case of a hanging assembly, five mills could lean balance and the ruling party on Wednesday would benefit from it. LG powers were attacked in front of the High Court.
Hind 10 reported that the Ministry of the Interior of the Union submitted its position and supported the powers of LG to nominate five members for the legislative assembly of Jamm and Kashmir without government “assistance and council”. The ministry said the nominations were “outside the business of the elected government of Jamm and Kashmir”.
