SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Tuesday that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will continue to seek restoration of statehood for J-K from the status of a Union Territory.
Speaking to reporters in the Hazratbal area, National Conference chief Abdullah also said that Article 370, which was abrogated by the Centre in 2019, was meant to safeguard Jammu and Kashmir and the identity of its people in the erstwhile state.
“We are waiting for it (restoration of statehood). Ask those who are delaying it. We will continue to pray for statehood and pray to God to protect us,” Abdullah said.
