Omar Abdullah appealed to people to come out and vote as it was the "only democratic way to raise their voice against the decisions taken by the Centre in Jammu and Kashmir".
Three generations of the Abdullah family on Monday cast their vote in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, with National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah appealing to people to turn out in large numbers to exercise their franchise.
NC president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah, his son Omar Abdullah and his two grandsons and first-time electors Zahir and Zamir cast their vote at the polling station at the Burn Hall School in Srinagar. "We have two first-time voters with us. It is for the first time that three generations of our family are voting together," Mr. Omar Abdullah, also a former chief minister, said.
