Srinagar: Mian Altaf Ahmad, a member of the National Conference, has criticized the Indian government for neglecting Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in its recent budget allocation.
According to Kashmir Media Service, while speaking during the Indian parliament’s budget session, Mian Altaf highlighted the lack of provisions for IIOJK in the new budget.
