Don’t take any step that affects peace, Abdullahs tell Modi
“We discussed two issues with the PM. We told him that no step should be taken which will lead to deterioration of the situation in the Kashmir Valley. We also told him that assembly elections should be held before the end of the year,” Omar told reporters here.
He said they had conveyed to the PM that the situation in the Kashmir Valley had improved with great difficulty and it was better than last year, but the situation could deteriorate at any time.
“We apprised him about the people’s feelings and also told him that there is tension in people’s mind,” he said.
Asked whether speculation about the possibility of Article 35A being scrapped was taken up with the PM, Omar said they did not talk about it. “But when we say that there should be no step, that means it covers all issues, including Article 35A and Article 370. We are of the view that let a new government be elected and take decisions on it. Let the people decide whom they want to elect. We will accept the people’s verdict,” he said.
Asked about PDP chief Mehbooba’s appeal for an united stand by parties in J&K, Omar said party would take a decision on Sunday.
