National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah has reiterated his stand on Article 370 and said that it is not something that they will surrender, and it’s a long struggle as it is part of his party’s political ideology.

In an interview with ANI, Abdullah said that it took the BJP decades to revoke Article 370. “Article 370 and the special status of J&K are part of the National Conference’s ideology. It’s not something that we will surrender. But it’s not something that this assembly will be able to do. A couple of government changes will be needed at the centre before we even begin to address this issue. It took the BJP decades to do this, and we are not foolish to think that we will be able to undo it in 5 years. It’s a long struggle. It’s an issue that we believe is important to keep alive,” he said.
