Omar Abdullah meets PM Modi in Delhi – Kashmir Observer

New Delhi- Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is on his first official visit to Delhi after assuming office, on Thursday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and handed over a resolution to speedily restore the statehood in the Union Territory, officials said.

The meeting lasted for over 30 minutes during which Abdullah discussed various issues related to Jammu and Kashmir including the current security situation and development works. He also presented a traditional Kashmiri shawl to the Prime Minister, they said.

Abdullah also handed over the resolution passed by his cabinet last week, urging the central government to restore the state of Jammu and Kashmir “to its original form”, according to the officials.

The resolution was adopted by the new government in its first cabinet meeting last week after Abdullah's National Conference registered a remarkable victory in the first Assembly polls in the Union Territory, winning 42 of the 90 seats.

This restoration, officials say, is seen as a crucial step toward initiating a healing process, restoring constitutional rights and safeguarding the unique identity of the region's residents.

The chief minister was authorized by the cabinet to engage with the prime minister and the central government to advocate for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

This resolution was also approved by Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.

Abdullah's meeting with Modi comes four days after terrorists of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba on Sunday shot dead seven people, including a local doctor, in Gagangir in Ganderbal district.

Earlier in the day, Abdullah met Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari at his office.

During the meeting, Abdullah briefed Gadkari about the road connectivity projects in Jammu and Kashmir, the officials said.

The chief minister gifted Gadkari with a traditional Kashmiri shawl.

Later, Abdullah met Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and sought cooperation to improve the security situation in the Union Territory so that development works could be completed.

Abdullah had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday and the meeting lasted for nearly 30 minutes.

According to officials, it was a courtesy visit during which the chief minister briefed the Union Home Minister about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and discussed the issue of restoration of the state.

Since the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory in 2019, the police force has been under the jurisdiction of the Union Home Ministry.
