All key decisions regarding IIOJK being taken in New Delhi, not Srinagar: CM Omar
Srinagar: Chief Minister of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah has said that all key decisions regarding the territory statehood and security are being taken in New Delhi, not Srinagar.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Omar Abdullah, speaking to reporters in Srinagar, said his government had passed a resolution for restoration of statehood in its very first cabinet meeting and submitted it to the Indian Prime Minister, but no progress has been made since then.
He expressed disappointment over the Indian Supreme Court’s decision to defer the hearing on the statehood petition to October 10, stating that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have already waited too long. “The wait has brought no results. We can only hope that when the court takes up the matter, it sets a clear timeframe, just as it once did while directing the Election Commission to hold polls in JK,” he remarked.
The CM reiterated that the demand for restoration of statehood remains a central concern for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and stressed that the delay has only deepened people’s frustration.
