SRINAGAR:National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Sunday said his party would keep Article 370 issue alive until it is restored. He also accused the UT administration of failing to curb militancy.
“We can’t predict if Article 370 will be restored tomorrow or during this assembly, but we will keep the issue alive, just as BJP did for 20-25 years,” Omar said.
He retorted to Union home minister Amit Shah’s charge that NC-Congress alliance will bring terrorism back in J&K.“If anyone has failed to combat militancy, it is the present govt. During my six-year tenure, militancy was declining each year, but in the past five years, it has been on the rise,” Omar told reporters in Shopian.
