“They tried to weaken us but the people responded”, says Zamir Abdullah on JK poll results

Zamir Abdullah, son of Omar Abdullah, criticised the Union government on Wednesday, accusing it of attempting to “weaken” the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) and the Abdullah family to exert pressure on the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

“This is everyone’s happiness, the happiness of Jammu and Kashmir. The Central government tried to weaken the J&K National Conference because they know that if they want to pressure the people of J&K, it’s the NC that stands in their way. Look at the time of Sheikh and Farooq; why did they try to weaken them? Because they knew that to weaken the people of J&K, they needed to weaken the Abdullah family. Today, the people have responded to them,” Zamir Abdullah told ANI.

He also emphasised that the National Conference is committed to fighting for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood, as the people of the region have given a clear mandate.

“For us, unemployment and electricity are the main issues. I wouldn’t say statehood is an issue; it is a right, just like democracy. We are a democratic country; people have chosen their leader and representative. The Union government should restore full statehood so the people’s aspirations can be fulfilled.”

Calling for a movement to demand statehood, he added, “In my opinion, securing statehood is the primary fight. Without statehood, nothing else is possible. There should be a movement for this. We will definitely go to court, but alongside that, there must be a movement.”

He also criticised Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, alleging that the Union government had appointed him like a king.

“In 2019, they divided us and left us with nothing. They brought in the LG, who is not from here, and made him a king. We don’t have any power. But now we will fight. The people are behind us; we have the mandate. We are the legitimate government of J&K. We are the rightful voice to demand statehood, and we will fight for it, as we have done before.”

Earlier, JKNC chief Farooq Abdullah had said that the party’s vice president and newly-elected MLA Omar Abdullah would be the next Chief Minister of the Union Territory. However, Omar Abdullah stated that the final decision rests with the representatives and the alliance.

“I am very grateful for the confidence he (Farooq Abdullah) has shown in me. But that decision is for the legislators to make. It is a decision for the alliance. I love my father dearly, and I am very grateful for his support, but ultimately, the legislators have the final say. I always follow the rules and procedures, and this is how it will be done,” he said.

The results for the J&K assembly elections were declared on Tuesday, October 8. The JKNC led the alliance to victory by winning 42 seats, while Congress secured only six seats. The BJP also performed strongly, winning 29 seats.

This was the first election in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 and its bifurcation into two Union Territories. (ANI)
