NC will attend INDIA bloc’s meeting in Delhi on June 8: Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, Jun 5: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Friday said his party will attend the meeting of the INDIA bloc in Delhi on June 8.

“The meeting is going to taking place. Omar (Abdullah) or I, one of us will go. Obviously, we are part of that. We will be there,” Abdullah told reporters in Hazratbal here.

To a question on LoP Sunil Shamra’s remark about Article 370 having been “burried”, he said the party will keep the issue of the special status alive “till eternity”.

“The day all of us get buried in Kashmir, it (Article 370) will also be buried that day,” the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister asserted.

The National Conference on Wednesday announced that its legislators will protest in Delhi to press for the restoration of statehood and special status. (PTI)
