Omar Heaps Praise on PM Modi, Seeks J&K Statehood's Restoration
The Statesman
|January 14, 2025
Omar Abdullah said the PM has fulfilled two of the three promises he made during his visit to Srinagar
-
Giving much ammunition to his rivals in Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday heaped praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and while crediting him for free and fair Assembly polls, pitched for restoration of J&K's statehood. The PM was seen smiling as the CM praised him for initiating development projects in J&K.
Omar, whose National Conference is part of the INDIA bloc, was speaking after inauguration of the tunnel at Sonamarg. He said the PM has fulfilled two of the three promises he made during his visit to Srinagar on the International Yoga Day. "Two promises-bridging the 'Delhi ki Doori' and holding Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir-have been fulfilled. But the third promise, restoring statehood, remains unfulfilled".
He said that people participated in the elections enthusiastically, and there were no complaints of any rigging or misuse of power anywhere.
