National Conference Demands Inquiry into Mass Transfers in J&K Administration

The National Conference (NC) has asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate recent large-scale transfers within Jammu and Kashmir's police and civil administration. Suspecting biased intent by LG Manoj Sinha, NC leaders demand suspending the orders to ensure free and fair elections in the region.

The National Conference (NC) on Friday urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate the significant transfers in Jammu and Kashmir's police and civil administration, demanding an immediate suspension of these orders.

Omar Abdullah, NC vice president, expressed concerns of biased intent from Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. In a post on X, Abdullah remarked, 'That the J&K administration had to call officers in the secretariat & police HQ to work on Independence Day to order this massive reshuffle tells me they had absolutely NO CLUE that the ECI would be announcing poll dates today.'

National Conference general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar echoed these sentiments, suggesting the transfer orders were orchestrated to benefit the BJP and its allies. He stated, 'The LG government has strategically shaken up the administrative set-up, compromising the principles of free and fair elections.'
