Omar Abdullah Says Strengthening INDIA Alliance Is Responsibility Of Its Largest Partner News24 –


Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah on Thursday said the responsibility to strengthen the INDIA alliance lies with its largest partner. He said it is unfortunate that the partners did not meet after the elections. 

J&K CM Omar Abdullah said, “The responsibility to strengthen the INDIA alliance is neither mine nor Mamata Banerjee’s. This responsibility belongs to the biggest partner of the INDIA Alliance. I have said multiple times that it is unfortunate that we don’t meet. The last meeting was held right after the elections at Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence. There has been no meeting since then.”

On statehood for J&K, CM Omar Abdullah said, “Unfortunately, being a Union Territory, the security of state is not our responsibility. We want that responsibility to be ours. Our government should be given the responsibility of J&K as soon as possible. We don’t want to be a Union Territory. Making us a Union Terriroty was a huge betrayal to us. The central government and the BJP are promise-bond to make J&K a state again. This should not be delayed now. We should be given the statehood as soon as possible and we should have the responsibility of the security of the state.”
