National Conference president Dr. Farooq Abdullah will chair a crucial meeting of party leaders at the party headquarters, Nawai Subah, here on Thursday, sources disclosed.
Sources said that the NC president will chair the meeting tomorrow to discuss key issues.
“The provincial working committee meeting of the party will be attended by the Chief Minister, ministers, all MLAs from Kashmir, and senior leaders,” they said.
The meeting gains significance as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday hinted at a strong political message he plans to deliver after Eid.
Speaking at a function in Tangmarg, the CM said that he wants to “burst like a cloudburst” and would speak openly at a public gathering after Eid.
The CM’s statement has created ripples in political circles in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources said that the meeting is likely to discuss issues of statehood, the functioning of the government, and other key matters.
“The issue of cabinet expansion is also likely to come up for discussion,” they said, adding that three berths in the council of ministers are lying vacant, as J&K can have nine ministers.
