Jammu: National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah on Thursday promised to reinstate the legislative council in Jammu and Kashmir once its statehood is restored.
Campaigning in Doda district for the assembly elections, the former chief minister also urged the people to register their dissatisfaction with New Delhi’s rule by voting against it.
“Once we get statehood back, we will immediately restore the legislative council. You will not only have an MLA but also a member of legislative council,” Abdullah said during an election rally in Bhaderwah.
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council, the Upper House, was abolished in October 2019 as part of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act. The Act also reorganised the state into the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
