Post his release, the National Conference Leader was quick to find himself under the spotlight. With Article 370 revoked, Jammu And Kashmir is now officially a Union Territory (UT). And Omar Abdullah has said that he won’t contest elections until J&K remains a UT.
The former J&K CM said that he fails to understand the need to downgrade the state into a UT and unnecessarily punish the people of the state. Omar Abdullah won’t contest elections until J&K remains a union territory and wants the government to revoke the UT status. The NC leader also said that he accepted the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A and that it wasn’t a surprise to him. However, the former J&K CM said that he found it unacceptable and extremely downgrading to split Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories.
