During his remarks at ABP Network`s `Ideas of India` Summit 3.0 in Mumbai, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah highlighted his displeasure with the Supreme Court`s participation in declaring elections for the area, calling it "a matter of considerable shame".

Abdullah expressed worry that instead of the Election Commission of India or the Government of India announcing elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the Supreme Court was left to establish a deadline. He emphasised the importance of this problem, particularly given the Supreme Court`s recent decision ordering assembly elections by the end of September 2024, reported PTI. 

According to the report, the National Conference leader also questioned the concept that Article 370 was entirely responsible for the issues faced by Jammu and Kashmir. He pointed out the resurgence of terrorist attacks in areas that were previously unaffected by such violence, particularly in the hills of Jammu, Rajouri, and Poonch.
