Yasin Malik told the Delhi High Court that following his arrest in 1990, he was engaged by six successive governments, from VP Singh to Manmohan Singh, to discuss the Kashmir issue and explore possible resolutions.
Today, On 14th October, the Supreme Court refused to hear a petition contesting the Lieutenant Governor’s authority to nominate five MLAs to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, directing the petitioner to approach the High Court first. Concerns were raised about undermining the electoral mandate, but the legal challenge can continue at the High Court level.
