On the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday reiterated his commitment to reversing the Centre's decisions, saying the ruling National Conference has not accepted the "current circumstances".In a post on X handle, Abdullah said, "Seven years, we haven't forgotten and we haven't reconciled far less accepted our current circumstances."
My party and I remain committed to reversing all that was done to J-K that took away our rights and threatens our identity, he said.
He ended his message with a line from American poet Robert Frost's 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening', "The woods are lovely, dark & deep. But I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep....."
The BJP-led central government abrogated Article 370 on August 5, 2019, ending Jammu and Kashmir's special status under the Constitution of India.
To mark the day, the ruling National Conference leaders held a protest in Srinagar on Wednesday, demanding restoration of the special status of the erstwhile state.
Scores of NC leaders, MLAs and workers, led by Minister Sakina Itoo, assembled at the party headquarters, Nawa-i-Subah, and took out a protest march.
Carrying placards in support of Article 370 and the restoration of special status, the protesters tried to take the march out of the party office complex but were stopped by police.
