SRINAGAR: PDP MLA Waheed Para on Friday said the Jammu and Kashmir government’s decision to “slash” the RBA quota is a “calculated attempt to disempower” Kashmiris.
The Pulwama legislator accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of advancing the “disempowerment agenda” and asserted that the Residents of Backward Areas (RBA) quota safeguards Kashmiri representation.
“The J&K government’s cabinet sub-committee decision to slash the RBA quota under the guise of ‘rationalisation’ is a calculated attempt to disempower Kashmiris,” Para said on X.
