NC Rajya Sabha MPs Submit Memo to Amit Shah Seeking Prisoner Transfers, Business Rules, Statehood

Overview

• Three National Conference MPs met the Union Home Minister in New Delhi and handed over a memorandum outlining humanitarian, constitutional, and administrative demands.
• The MPs urged the transfer of J&K detainees from prisons in other states back to the Union Territory and asked for the release of those without proven serious charges.
• The memorandum framed distant incarceration as a burden on poor families, calling it a hardship that punishes poverty rather than guilt.
• The party pressed for immediate notification of transaction-of-business rules to remove ambiguity in governance and clarify the roles of the elected government and Raj Bhawan.
• The document sought time-bound steps to restore full statehood, invoking assurances by national leaders and the Supreme Court’s December 11, 2023 reference; the Centre has not announced any response as of now.
