Srinagar, June 27, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Vice President of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, Omar Abdullah said that nothing was discussed in Delhi All Party Meet outside the agenda of People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration. Omar Abdullah talking to reporters at his residence in Srinagar said that PAGD never accepted decision taken on August 05, 2019 and PAGD will fight peacefully, constitutionally, legally and will do what it takes to undo it.
“Where PAGD deviated from its agenda? There has been no statement from any of the party who is PAGD member that they accept August 05 decision and move forward”, he added. Omar further said that at All Party Meet, “We said that people are disappointed and didn’t accept the decision”.
“We don’t want to betray people by saying them that we are seeking reversal of August 5 from Modi Sahib, because it would be a betrayal. Those who snatched [Article 370] from us, shall we betray people by saying we are getting it back from them”? Omar questioned.
Omar also said that both Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah said that it took BJP 70 years to fulfill its agenda of revoking Article 370 in Kashmir and if it takes us 70 weeks or 70 months, or whatever time it takes, “we will not retract from our mission”.
On being asked that until Article 370 is restored, will you not be contesting elections personally, he said, “I am not sitting personally here. I represent party, adding “I have no intention of contesting elections for now and party decision is there at its own place.”
Replying a question that he and other participants talked in individual party capacities and not as PAGD, Omar said that they were not invited on the basis of alliance and added that had it been so, only one would have been invited.
Replying a query on participation of National Conference in Delimitation Commission, Omar said, the party has authorized Dr Farooq Abdullah to take the view as and when necessary. “There has been no fresh approach from delimitation commission as of now, when delimitation makes an approach to Farooq sahib, he will take view on it”, he added.
