On PDP’s Article 370 resolution, Omar says: ‘only for the cameras’

Srinagar, Nov 04: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said that the resolution brought by PDP on Article 370 has no importance and that it was moved “only for the cameras”.

He added that the House, and not just a member, will reflect and discuss the matter.

"We knew that preparation for this was being made by a member...The reality is that the people of J&K do not approve of the decision taken on 5th August 2019. If they had approved, then the results today would have been different. How the House will reflect and discuss this will not be decided by any one member. The resolution brought today has no importance but it is only for the cameras. If there was a purpose behind it, then they would have discussed this with us before," said Omar Abdullah.

Earlier, PDP MLA Waheed Parra had moved the resolution opposing the revocation of Article 370 and demanding the restoration of special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

PDP Supremo Mehbooba Mufti lauded the PDP leader for introducing the resolution in the assembly.

"Proud of Waheed Parra for introducing resolution in JK Assembly opposing the revocation of Article 370 and resolve to restore the special status God bless you," Mehbooba Mufti wrote in a post on X.
