Seven years after Article 370 abrogation, Omar Abdullah says J&K wounds remain unhealedJammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said wounds from the abrogation of Article 370 remain unhealed seven years later and accused the Centre of not fulfilling its statehood promise. (PTI Photo)Jammu/Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said the “wounds” of the people had not yet healed seven years after the abrogation of Article 370, asserting that the Centre’s promise to restore statehood to the Union Territory remained unfulfilled. Abdullah said the people had hoped that at least some of their grievances would be addressed through the restoration of statehood. The BJP-led central government abrogated Article 370 on August 5, 2019, revoking the special constitutional status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating it into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Carrying placards in support of statehood and Article 370, the protesters tried to take the march out of the party office complex but were stopped by police.
