New Delhi, Feb 10: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah and discussed with him various issues, including restoration of statehood and law and order situation in the Union Territory.
During the meeting, which lasted for 30 minutes, officials said the chief minister raised with Shah the issue of restoration of statehood to J&K.
On August 5, 2019, the Centre abrogated Article 370 which granted special status to J&K and bifurcated the erstwhile state into two UTs — J&K and Ladakh.
During the meeting, Abdullah also briefed Shah about the situation in J&K after the two recent incidents — the death of a person by suicide in Kathua in Jammu, and shooting of a truck driver after he did not stop at a checkpoint in Sopore in north Kashmir. (PTI)
