Transfer row: Ruling MLAs call for respecting people’s mandate; says ‘our silence not weakness’

SRINAGAR — Amid differences with the Raj Bhavan over transfer of state officials, ruling Jammu and Kashmir lawmakers Friday stressed the need for all to respect people’s mandate, asserting their government’s efforts towards building a coordination with the LG administration should not be construed as their weakness.

“We are repeatedly saying this and this is our final request that do not push us to the wall,” National Conference chief spokesperson and MLA Zadibal Tanvir Sadiq told reporters here after an emergency ruling allies’ legislature party meeting over the issue of contentious transfer.

The meeting passed two resolutions: one condemning the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill by parliament, and the other calling for respecting people’s mandate.
