IIOJK assembly will pass resolution against ending Article 370 after polls: Omar Abdullah
Srinagar: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah has said that the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Assembly will pass a resolution against the Indian government’s decision to end Article 370 after the Assembly polls.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Modi regime had on August 05, 2019 repealed the Article 370 of the Indian Constitution that granted special status to the occupied territory.
Omar Abdullah in a media interview in Srinagar said that a resolution against the Modi government’s decision to strip the region of its statehood and special status would be the Assembly’s first order of business.
Omar Abdullah’s remarks came a day after the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the Assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir in three phases on September 18, 25 and October 1. The counting of votes will take place on October 4.
The last Assembly elections in the territory were held in November-December 2014. Jammu and Kashmir has been under the President’s Rule since December 19, 2018.
After the announcement of polls on Friday, Omar Abdullah opted to refrain from participating until Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood is restored. His father and National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah will lead the party in the upcoming elections.
