Cabinet Responds to LG’s Queries on Transaction of Business Rules, Clarifies Tanvir Sadiq
Srinagar, May 5: National Conference (NC) Chief Spokesperson and MLA from Zadibal, Tanvir Sadiq, today clarified that the State Cabinet has officially addressed the queries raised by the Lieutenant Governor’s office concerning the Transaction of Business Rules. Speaking to media persons in Srinagar, Sadiq dismissed media reports suggesting that the Raj Bhawan had rejected the cabinet’s recommendations outright, stating instead that the process was still underway and functioning as per constitutional norms.
“Let me be clear—no recommendation has been rejected. Some queries were raised by the Raj Bhawan, and the cabinet, in its meeting held earlier today, has formulated detailed responses. These replies will now be sent back for further consideration,” Tanvir said, underlining that such exchanges between the executive and the Raj Bhawan are part of a normal procedural dialogue.
He urged the media and the public not to misinterpret the developments. “This is a procedural matter, not a confrontation. Let us not draw conclusions from unverified reports. Everything will become clear in due course,” he added.
On the broader public concerns following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Tanvir acknowledged that the incident had significantly impacted the Valley’s tourism sector, a vital component of its economy. However, he expressed optimism that the region could bounce back, calling on other Indian states to encourage tourists to visit Kashmir once again.
“Yes, the Pahalgam attack has had a negative effect on tourism. But the people of Kashmir have shown resilience, solidarity, and unity in condemning the violence. Now is the time for tourists to return. States across India should renew their efforts to send tourists here and help Kashmir’s economy regain momentum,” he said.
He further stressed that Kashmiris have always stood with the nation in times of grief and that the rest of the country should reciprocate by contributing to the Valley’s economic revival, especially its tourism industry.
On the subject of the historic Darbar Move—a biannual shifting of the secretariat between Srinagar and Jammu—Sadiq reaffirmed its importance as a symbol of administrative unity and regional balance. He dismissed speculation about the tradition being permanently discontinued and assured that the government was actively working on reviving the practice.
“Darbar Move is more than a routine—it’s a cultural and political bridge between Kashmir and Jammu. The government is committed to restoring this tradition. By next winter, you will see tangible progress and a sincere effort to resume the Darbar Move,” he assured.
Tanvir Sadiq’s remarks come amid heightened political activity and scrutiny of administrative decisions in Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting both the challenges and aspirations in the region’s governance landscape.
