The Jammu and Kashmir government announced a reshuffle of its cabinet, changing several ministerial portfolios. The decision has been met with criticism from the National Conference, which described the move as unsettling for the party’s agenda. In response, a faction of NC legislators gathered for a closed‑door meeting to discuss their concerns and formulate a collective response.
