In an exclusive interview with MOJO Story, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah shared insights into the current political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections. Abdullah, who is actively campaigning in the Lolab Valley, highlighted several issues affecting the region since the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
Addressing the altered constituencies in J&K, Abdullah expressed that contesting this election has been a new experience for his party. He emphasized the importance of restoring J&K's statehood.
Abdullah criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating that their claims of people's satisfaction post-Article 370 abrogation have been hollowed out. He raised concerns about the BJP's alleged use of proxies in Kashmir's elections and accused BJP of targeting Muslims in speeches, urging the Election Commission (EC) to take a stronger stand against such practices.
Regarding the Gupkar Alliance, Abdullah commented on the People's Democratic Party's (PDP) motives, suggesting that their intention to join was not ideological but aimed at securing a seat from the National Conference. He also revealed his sons' involvement in his campaign, emphasizing their roles as media aides and their pursuit of legal careers outside of politics.
Expressing humility in campaigning in militancy-prone areas, Abdullah underscored that the National Conference is no longer solely comprised of older members. However, he reiterated his desire for his sons to focus on their legal careers, expressing uncertainty about their future in politics.
Despite facing denial from the EC to campaign due to security concerns, Abdullah declared his successful campaign as a significant challenge to the BJP and its alleged proxies.
