The admissions given to 42 students from a particular community in the first batch for the 2025-26 academic year have sparked controversy.

A major political storm has erupted in Jammu and Kashmir after right-wing Hindu organisations demanded the cancellation of admissions granted to 42 meritorious Muslim students in the MBBS programme at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence (SMVDIME) in Katra.

On Friday, the ruling NC won three seats, while the BJP managed one in the first Rajya Sabha elections held in Jammu and Kashmir after it became a Union territory in 2019.

There was a possibility that by including the BJP in the government, we could get a gift. They would have granted statehood to us sooner, says J&K CM.

Abdullah said had he included the BJP in the government, the statehood might have been restored sooner.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of his visit to the flood-affected villages in Reasi district, Abdullah said the Lieutenant Governor-led Ladakh administration should see why it failed in the first place to take necessary measures to maintain peace.

During his interaction with the business leaders, Abdullah, while talking about the perception-versus-reality gap about peace and security in the region, said J-K today is calm, peaceful, and open for business.

Omar Abdullah condemned Andrabi’s response, saying that the board 'played with the sentiments of the people' and is now using threats

Abdullah clarified that he has not been in touch with any political leaders in New Delhi and described his remarks as a 'gut feeling' about what might unfold during the Parliament session on August 5.

Abdullah chaired a high-level meeting in Jammu to review the delivery of essential services and supplies, and the steps taken by the administration during the current summer season in the Jammu division.

Speaking to the press after the meeting, Abdullah said: "It was not just a routine administrative exercise, but a clear message—we are not intimidated by cowardly acts of terror. The enemies of peace will never dictate our resolve. Jammu & Kashmir stands firm, strong, and unafraid."

Omar Abdullah hit back at Mufti for opposing the reinstatement of the Tulbul Navigation Project, accusing her of ignoring how the Indus Waters Treaty has historically betrayed J&K’s interests.

The chief minister had convened the meeting with key tourism stakeholders to find a way forward for the tourism sector in Kashmir which has been affected badly following the Pahalgam terror attack which killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

While lieutenant governor Sinha went to Uri, chief minister Abdullah drove down to Jammu from Srinagar to assess the damage and reach out to the residents who have borne the brunt of cross-border shelling.

The Chief Minister said that Shah, a pony ride operator, tried to stop the attack in a bid to shield the tourist he was with and was targetted when he tried to snatch a gun.
