Srinagar, May 21: Senior PDP leader Waheed Para has taken a swipe at the National Conference (NC) for passing a resolution on Jammu and Kashmir’s special status, statehood during a working committee meeting held at the party’s headquarters, Nawai-i-Subh, instead of tabling it in the Legislative Assembly.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Para wrote:

“So, the National Conference, armed with a brute mandate of 50 MLAs, passed a resolution on special status and statehood—not in the J&K Assembly, where such matters belong, but in its party office, Nawai-i-Subh. Let that sink in. What’s next? A cabinet meeting in the party office?”
The NC, now the leading party in the ruling alliance, had convened a working committee meeting today where it reiterated its long-standing demand for the restoration of special status and statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
