In an interview to ANI, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference chairman Omar Abdullah talked about Article 370. He was asked whether he
Will Article 370 be implemented again in Jammu and Kashmir? On this, Omar Abdullah said that 370 is a part of our political ideology. This is something for which we cannot sit idle, we cannot surrender for it. He also admitted that it will not be so easy to implement it again. It is not that you will implement it in the next 5 years. It is true that it will take time.
In response to the question, Omar Abdullah further said that even the Bharatiya Janata Party took decades to remove it. It would be foolish to say that we will bring it back in the next 5 years. Abdullah also admitted that we believe that this is an important issue for us and we will keep it alive. Omar Abdullah further said that we are not contesting elections only on this issue. We have given it a place of one or two paragraphs in our manifesto, apart from this, development and employment of Jammu and Kashmir have been talked about in our manifesto. We have given place to many issues in our manifesto including employment, water, free education, social welfare schemes, relief from inflation.
What did Omar Abdullah say on his father’s statement?
Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah was also questioned in the ANI podcast about his father Farooq Abdullah’s statement related to Article 370. He said that my father had said that it will take 100 years to re-implement 370, which means it will take a long time. On the statement of Congress, Omar Abdullah said that it was the court’s decision, a bench of 5 judges had pronounced it. The decision can also be changed. Abdullah further said that the decision of a bench of 5 judges can be overturned by 7 and the decision of a bench of 7 judges can be overturned by the entire bench, so it can be changed, yes it will take time. Omar Abdullah said that no matter how many years it takes – 5, 10, 100 – efforts will be made to re-implement it.
