Srinagar, Aug 18:
On Saturday, August 17, Omar Abdullah, the former Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Vice President of the National Conference (NC) party, dropped hints that his earlier stand of not fighting Assembly elections may not be final.
Taking to social media, Omar wrote: “The indelible ink mark from the recent elections hasn’t gone & we are back in election mode. Bring it on! We are ready!”
In an interview with NDTV, he emphasized that if the NC comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections, one of the first actions they will take is to pass a resolution in the assembly demanding the restoration of J&K’s statehood and special status.
Omar Abdullah also addressed speculation about his participation in the elections. While he had previously indicated a reluctance to contest under the Union Territory status, he hinted that this decision might not be final. He clarified that the party would make the ultimate decision on whether he would run, leaving the door open for his potential candidacy.
