Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday fact-checked Union Minister JP Nadda over the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) paper leak, saying the incident took place in 2022 and not under the NC-Congress government, while seeking an update on the high-level committee constituted to probe the matter.

In a post on X, Abdullah said Nadda was “absolutely correct” about the paper leak but had got the date wrong.“You are absolutely correct about the SSB paper leak in Jammu and Kashmir, JP Nadda ji, but you have got the date wrong. 

It was 2022. The government wasn’t of NC & Congress. It was a government headed by Lt. Governor but thank you for reminding everyone of this failure. It involved these observations & orders of the J&K High Court. We have no idea what happened to the High Level Committee or its report. Perhaps you can share that with us in your next press conference,” Abdullah wrote.
