Omar Abdullah moves MLAs to a no‑network zone, NDTV examines reasons

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah escorted his party legislators to a remote area. The location lacks mobile and internet connectivity, creating a no‑network zone. NDTV reports the move was intended to foster focused discussion among the MLAs. Abdullah cited the need for uninterrupted dialogue on party strategy. Critics argue the tactic isolates members from constituents and media. The gathering coincides with internal debates over the party’s future direction. Observers note the symbolic gesture highlights growing intra‑party tensions. The outcome of the meeting remains to be seen as the party prepares for upcoming elections.
