They wouldn't wait ten minutes in Kashmir," Omar declared, promising to peacefully and politically press the demand.
"I won't let people be thrown into the fire and destroyed, but we will obtain our rights while upholding the law and the Constitution."
Omar recalled how Leh changed his attitude after first applauding the repeal of Article 370 in 2019.
The Kargil people never agreed with that ruling. We also didn't accept it. However, observe how things changed in Leh.
At the moment, Leh celebrated. They now claim to have realized that they had been protected for 70 years by Article 370.
Omar Abdullah's comments were made in the midst of violence in Ladakh, where on September 24, security forces opened fire on protesters, leaving four people dead and over 80 injured.
Additionally, he denied rumours that Kashmiris may switch to the BJP in the event of poor government.
Speaking about his government last year, Omar said he resisted calls to put the BJP in power.
