Want to burst like a cloudburst”: CM Omar hints at big message after Eid

Tangmarg, May 06: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday hinted at a strong political message he plans to deliver after Eid, saying he was holding himself back as the occasion did not permit a political address.

Speaking at a function in Tangmarg, CM Omar,  said the academic setting was not appropriate for political remarks. “Trust me, I want to burst like a cloudburst,” he said, adding that he would speak openly at a public gathering after Eid.

Turning to governance and youth issues, the Chief Minister said students are central to Jammu and Kashmir’s future and that the government is working to strengthen education, employment and economic opportunities.

He highlighted the lack of adequate private universities in the region, forcing families to send children outside Jammu and Kashmir at high financial cost. To address this, he said the government has passed a Private University Bill and that rules for its implementation are being framed.
