The National Conference has strongly criticized the recent nomination of five MLAs to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly by the lieutenant governor, branding the move as 'unconstitutional and undemocratic.'
Party representatives claim that the authority to nominate MLAs rests solely with an elected government and should not be assumed by a lieutenant governor in the absence of such a body.
The National Conference accuses the BJP of employing underhanded techniques, including attempts to manipulate independent representatives and subvert the democratic process following their defeat in assembly polls.
