SRINAGAR: National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister on Saturday said that that political parties of the region had conveyed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that if polls are to be held then statehood should be restored first.
“Azad sa’ab (Ghulam Nabi Azad) had spoken on behalf of all of us that we don’t accept this timeline -we don’t accept delimitation, election, statehood, we want delimitation, statehood and then election. If you want to hold polls, you’ll have to restore statehood first,” said Omar Abdullah.
After Thursday’s three-hour long all-party meeting between Jammu and Kashmir leaders chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, opposition parties have demanded the restoration of statehood first otherwise they won’t fight elections.
