Former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday questioned the “unjustified” delay in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) poll by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Accusing the ECI of “prolonging the process”, Mr. Abdullah said, “The delay suggested a hidden agenda. Election is the right of the people of J&K, but if they get satisfied by snatching this right, let them do it. We won’t bow down before them.”
Referring to the statement made by the ECI earlier on the J&K poll, Mr. Abdullah said, “The ECI earlier acknowledged the existence of a vacuum in J&K due to the absence of election. On the other hand, it’s delaying the process.”
