Omar Abdullah's remarks come in the aftermath of the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, in which the NC-Congress alliance emerged victorious.
National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah has said that seeking the restoration of Article 370 from the BJP, the very party responsible for its removal is nothing short of "foolish." However, he added that this would not deter his party from keeping the issue alive and continuing their efforts.
Mr Abdullah's remarks come in the aftermath of the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, in which the NC-Congress alliance emerged victorious.
"Our political stand will not change. We have never said that we will remain silent on Article 370 or that Article 370 is not an issue for us now. I have said this many times before the elections that hoping for the restoration of Article 370 from the people who snatched it will be foolish," he said."But we will keep this issue alive. We will continue to talk on this and hope that tomorrow there will be a change of government in the country, there will be a new setup with whom we can discuss this and get something for J-K."
