Omar Abdullah’s tweet
After the appointment of Manoj Sinha as Lt Governor, former Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah tweeted, “Last night there were one or two names, whose names were revealed and their names were not among them.” You can always trust this government that an unexpected name comes up against any speculation that has been put before these sources.
Murmu’s resignation created a stir!
Late Wednesday, on the first anniversary of the removal of Article-370 from Jammu and Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir Girish Chandra Murmu resigned from his post. From the news of Murmu’s resignation, from the administration camp to the political parties, there was a furore. Murmu also submitted his resignation to President Ramnath Kovind late at night. While the reasons for Murmu’s resignation were not known, there are rumors that he was upset with the functioning of some senior bureaucrats. According to sources, Murmu may be appointed to a major position at the center.
Canceled all programs
The news of Murmu’s resignation spread with the sunset in the evening. Earlier, he canceled all scheduled programs in Srinagar from noon to evening. He also canceled the meeting with other high-level administrative delegations besides media persons from Delhi. Nobody met anyone after 12 noon. He then stayed in Jammu where he attended the meeting of the Administrative Council besides meeting with the Northern Command’s GOC-in-C Lt Gen YK Joshi.
According to Murmu’s close friends, he was seriously considering the subject continuously for the past few days. The ongoing discussions in the civil secretariat and local circles, if believed to be true, did not derail with some senior bureaucrats in the Jammu and Kashmir administration. He had also allegedly discussed the issue with the Home Minister and the Prime Minister in Delhi. Discussion of GC Murmu’s resignation was going on for several days.
