Srinagar, Sep 28 (PTI) PDP MLA Waheed Para on Sunday said the Jammu and Kashmir government was least interested in resolving the reservation issue and the ruling party was "only trying to safeguard" its vote bank.

The existing reservation policy, enacted after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, provides only 30 per cent vacancies for general category candidates, who account for nearly 70 per cent of the population.

"CM @OmarAbdullah's Education & Social Welfare Minister, in a recent interview, said that the law department has raised queries on the reservation policy report and that the report will again be reviewed by the cabinet before going back to the law department. This is nothing but an attempt to deflect," Para said on X.
