The budget session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly is nearing, and just in time for this, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s arrival in New Delhi has sparked a flurry of activity in political circles following his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. No detailed statement was issued after the meeting, nor was the agenda made public. This silence makes this meeting unusual and full of suspense.
Political analysts believe that when the conversation is so mysterious and timely, it likely addressed more important and sensitive matters than routine administrative issues.
According to sources, the meeting discussed attacks on Jammu and Kashmir citizens—especially students and businessmen—in various parts of the country, their security, and legal matters. Furthermore, the cases of prisoners and detainees from Jammu and Kashmir detained in other states were also discussed.
The meeting also discussed important issues such as upcoming Panchayat and Municipal elections, a possible flood relief package, and central-state coordination.
The most discussed topic remains the one on which nothing has been publicly said—sensitive issues related to the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir or future strategy.
Experts believe that this meeting, held just before the budget session, was not merely a formality. The silence and suspense have immediately made it a topic of discussion in political circles, and its consequences are likely to emerge in the coming days.
