SRINAGAR, NOV 06 – Just an hour after the J&K Assembly passed the historic resolution on restoration of Article 370, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said that the Assembly “has done its job.”
“Assembly has done its job,” Omar said while walking towards his chamber in the Assembly.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, who moved the historic resolution on Article 370 in the House, said: “We have not done something new by bringing resolution. This is what has been promised in the National Conference manifesto. We have represented the people’s mandate and aspirations.”
Choudhary while reacting to Jai Shri Ram slogan raised in the House by the BJP leaders, said “Lord Ram belongs to him and the entire humanity. It doesn’t belong to one particular party or community.”
Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra while reacting to the resolution, said that it calls for the restoration of federal structure that includes statehood and the special constitutional guarantees.
“The resolution also calls for dialogue between the Government of India and the representatives of the people of J&K,” he said. “I see nothing obnoxious in it. It calls for dialogue with the representatives of people of J&K.”
