SRINAGAR, May 12: Omar Abdullah said that restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir is not an issue for his party in the Lok Sabha polls, asserting that it will get the statehood anyway given the commitment by the prime minister and the Union home minister.
Omar Abdullah also said the results of the Lok Sabha polls will have an impact on the upcoming assembly elections in the Union territory & added that our battle is not for statehood, we will get the statehood anyway, so why should we waste people’s time on an issue that the PM and the Home Minister is committed to?
He added that if the government changes, which we are hoping for, our effort will be that we get full statehood before the assembly elections take place
