Hopeful of getting justice on Article 370: Omar Abdullah

New Delhi, Aug 2: As a five-judge Constitution bench of Supreme Court began hearing a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said that he is “hopeful of getting justice.”

“We are hopeful of getting justice. We are here on behalf of the people of J&K with the hope that we can prove that what happened on August 5, 2019 was unconstitutional and illegal,” National Conference leader Omar Abdullah who is in Delhi said today. Abdullah termed the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories in 2019 as “unconstitutional.”
