Kashmir's Liquor Concession: A Retreat or a Ruse? The National Conference (NC) government in Jammu and Kashmir has made a surprising concession to its BJP allies.
Following a protest outside Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's residence, the NC has promised to ban liquor sales and consumption in the region. The timing of this announcement is telling.
The BJP's protest was likely orchestrated with the tacit support of its coalition partners, highlighting the fragility of the NC BJP alliance.
