**Omar Abdullah Meets PM Modi, Discusses Situation In J\&K**

In a significant political development, National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The meeting reportedly focused on the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir, including political, security, and developmental issues.

Sources close to the meeting revealed that Omar Abdullah highlighted the concerns of the people of the region, particularly regarding the restoration of statehood, holding of assembly elections, and addressing unemployment and infrastructure gaps. The discussions are said to have been cordial yet direct, with Abdullah emphasising the need for renewed political engagement and confidence-building measures in the Union Territory.

This is seen as a rare and important interaction, especially after the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which led to the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. Since then, the demand for statehood and political normalcy has been a consistent ask from regional parties.

While there has been no official statement from the Prime Minister’s Office or Omar Abdullah’s camp regarding the full details of the discussion, political analysts believe this meeting could mark the beginning of a new phase in centre-state relations with Jammu and Kashmir.
