Omar Abdullah Speech | "We Waited, But Nothing Happened": J&K CM On Statehood
J&K CM Omar Abdullah said "More than 6 years have passed since the people of Jammu and Kashmir last heard their elected representative address them from here. When I last spoke from this platform, I was the Chief Minister of a state. We had our own identity in the country, a constitution, a flag, and statehood. Today, none of those remain. Even restoring democracy took time, but better late than never. Today, the people have their own government once again… We were hopeful that on 15th August, there would be a major announcement. I was even told that papers were being prepared. We waited, but nothing happened."
