BREAKING: Brutal caning class for @JKNC legislators from Kashmir Valley It was not a meeting. It was a public thrashing. NC leadership lashed out at the rebel MLAs & almost 'rejected' all major demands -no cabinet reshuffle, no removal of Advisor. Only Deputy CM is set to be stripped of the Roads & Buildings portfolio.
