In the historic lanes of Old Srinagar’s Downtown, the Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) convened a crucial core committee meeting to frame an intensive grassroots blueprint for supporting genuine contestants in the forthcoming Urban Local Body and Panchayat elections across Jammu and Kashmir. Presiding over the session, Bashir Ahmed Gagloo, President of the Jammu & Kashmir Unit, called for strengthening organisational structures at the booth and ward levels to deepen public outreach and mobilisation. Senior leaders Mohd Afzal (National Convenor), Girish Juwal (National Organiser), Mir Nazir (Convenor JKL), and Gulshan Kumar (Organiser JKL) expressed concern over the administrative uncertainty reportedly impacting residents across several districts. In a sharp political remark, Gagloo demanded that the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir resign, stating that the government had “failed to fulfil commitments made to the people.” He instructed workers to intensify community engagement, reinforce ward committees, and maintain direct household communication with responsibility and discipline as civic elections approach.
