Omar Abdullah after PM's meet: People not ready to accept what happened in Aug 2019

National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, who attended PM Modi's all-party meeting on J&K, said he informed the Prime Minister that they don't stand with what was done on August 5, 2019, when the Centre revoked Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and not ready to accept it.

"We told PM that we don't stand with what was done on 5th Aug 2019. We're not ready to accept it. But we won't take law into hands. We'll fight this in court. We also told the Prime Minister that there's been a breach of trust between State & Centre. It's the Centre's duty to restore it," said Abdullah.

"We requested Prime Minister that our fight will continue but it's essential to reverse some decisions that aren't at all in the interest of J&K. It was given the status of a UT, people don't like it. They want full statehood for J&K with J&K cadre restored," added Omar.

PDP leader and Former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti echoed the same demands. She said the way in which Article 370 was scrapped was illegal, unconstitutional and immoral.

"People of J&K will struggle constitutionally, democratically, peacefully. Be it months or yrs, we'll restore Article 370 in J&K as it's a matter of our identity," she said.
