Srinagar, 15 March (HS): National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to prioritize the restoration of democracy in Jammu and Kashmir by promptly announcing dates for both Parliament and assembly polls in the union territory. #DemocracyRestoration #JammuKashmir #ElectionCommission
“We have no expectations from the Election Commission. The EC should play its role as part of its mission of maintaining democracy. It has been 10 years that J-K has not seen an assembly election,” Abdullah expressed his concerns while addressing reporters in Srinagar. #OmarAbdullah #NationalConference #AssemblyElections
Abdullah referenced the submission of a report by former President Ram Nath Kovind-led committee on “one nation one election,” stating it as a golden opportunity to implement the policy in Jammu and Kashmir. #OneNationOneElection #RamNathKovind #JammuKashmirElections
“The former president has submitted a report on ‘one nation, one election’. What can we hope for from them: drum-beating ‘one nation one election’ if you do not start from J-K. Is it to fool the people? There have to be elections in J-K and it is a golden opportunity. Let them restore democracy fully here and announce the dates of both Parliament as well as assembly elections,” he emphasized. #GoldenOpportunity #ElectionAnnouncement
When questioned about potential meetings within the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) to resolve differences, Abdullah redirected inquiries to the alliance’s office bearers. #PAGD #AllianceMeetings #FarooqAbdullah
“As an NC representative, I am not privy to PAGD’s internal workings. If there is (a meeting), you ask (alliance president) Farooq Abdullah. Ask those who hold an office in the PAGD,” he clarified. #InternalDiscussions #FarooqAbdullah #NCRepresentation
