Meanwhile addressing the assembly, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the reality is that the people of Jammu and Kashmir do not accept the decision taken on August 5, 2019. If they had accepted it, today's results would have been different. How the House will consider and discuss it is not decided by any one member. CM Omar Abdullah said that if there was any purpose behind it, they would have discussed it with us first. It is worth mentioning that restoration of Article 370 and implementation of the statehood and autonomy resolution of Jammu and Kashmir was one of the main promises made by the National Conference in its election manifesto.
