Some more live updates from the press conference of Omar Abdullah

We don’t want to create a situation like 1987 where all political parties in Diwali come together and the only space that remains is for fringe. As I said to Mehbooba Mufti Ji on Twitter yesterday, we have to fight another day, good luck to her, good luck to us.

Nobody ever suggested that we would be fighting polls together. This arrangement was to protect J&K from current mess. I don’t believe that NC, PDP & Congress fighting elections together will in any way benefit J&K because legitimate opposition voices are essential.

Legally, we don’t have case to make. As I don’t have a document on which to claim Guv ignored what we had to say. My conversation was with PDP. It’s for PDP to decide whether it wants to take legal recourse. I didn’t provide documentary support.
