Assembly Election Date Announcement LIVE: Omar Abdullah reacts
Assembly Election Date Announcement LIVE: JKNC vice president Omar Abdullah said that it’s uncertain whether the Election Commission will announce dates for elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We don’t know that for sure (if dates will be announced for J&K too). That’s speculation. We hope that they are announcing dates for J&K. But in the past also we have expected an announcement and one hasn’t been forthcoming. J&K has been without an elected assembly since 2018. This is perhaps the longest period without an elected government in J&K. So, we hope that the ECI will use today’s opportunity to announce early elections in J&K, in keeping with what the Supreme Court of India has said because this is as per their guideline, their directives.”
