Omar wants J-K polls delayed

October 21, 2014 15:32

Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah, whose party the National Conference is in favour of delaying the elections in the state, said it was the decision for the Election Commission to take.

"I do not have to take a decision on the elections. It has to be decided by the EC. They came here, had discussions at official level and talked to various political parties and perhaps they will announce their decision in the coming few days.

"If they decide on conducting elections, then people have to be ready for that. I cannot say anything on it as the head of a government, but the party's stand on the issue has been made clear to the EC and to the people through the media," he said.
