Farooq, Omar Agree To Disagree On Contesting J&K Assembly Election

"Omar says he does not want to contest the Assembly election in UT. He will have to fight the elections. I am trying to persuade him to contest Assembly elections whether J&K is UT or state," Abdullah told reporters today.

After abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of erstwhile J&K state into two UTs, Omar had said he won't contest the Assembly polls till statehood is restored to J&K.

He recently reiterated his stand on not contesting the Assembly polls in UT.
