Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah responds to remarks by Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda regarding a paper leak involving the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB). Nadda had accused the National Conference and the Congress of staying silent on “paper leak scandals.” Abdullah disputes Nadda’s account, saying the Union Minister “got the date wrong” about the SSB/JKSSB paper leak. Abdullah says the leak occurred in 2022, during a period when the administration was headed by the Lt. Governor rather than the current state government. He also calls on the Centre to “engage with protesters,” linking the dispute to ongoing public demonstrations connected to the alleged leak. The exchanges reflect a political back-and-forth between the state leadership and the Union Minister over both the timeline of the incident and the appropriate response to it. No specific new evidence is cited in the reports summarized here; the focus is on correcting the dates and addressing public protest activity.
