Statehood imperative for restoring J&K’s special status: Omar
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said statehood is imperative for restoring Jammu and Kashmir's special status.
Abdullah stressed that Article 370 restoration is meaningless without statehood.
The National Conference's protest programmes seeking statehood will continue after the Delhi protest.
Abdullah said they went to remind the Centre of its promise to grant statehood made after the 2019 revocation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the state into two union territories.
He criticized opposition parties for not joining the protest and questioning the party's stance on Article 370.
