I’m gutted I won’t be representing the people of North Kashmir, Omar Abdullah posts on X following Lok Sabha setback
National Conference vice-president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said he felt gutted to realize that he will not be able to represent the people following his defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.
"It’s tough watching my party colleagues taking oath in the Lok Sabha today," Omar Abdullah posted on X.
"Such mixed emotions, I’m proud of their victory & the opportunity they’ve got to serve the people of J&K," he said.
"At the same time I’m gutted I won’t be representing the people of North Kashmir. That said, life goes on," Abdullah posted on X.
