SRINAGAR: J&K CM Omar Abdullah<\/a> whisked National Conference (NC) MLAs and MPs to Dachigam national park on Srinagar\u2019s outskirts for a day-long strategy session Wednesday that ended with a political call to arms \u2014 a protest in New Delhi on opening day of Parliament\u2019s monsoon session demanding restoration of J&K\u2019s statehood.Party legislators had first gathered at Omar\u2019s Gupkar road residence in Srinagar before boarding a bus and joining a convoy that many believed was headed to Chashma Shahi \u2014 one of the Mughal gardens in Srinagar. Destination remained under wraps until vehicles rolled towards Dachigam, about 22km from Srinagar and best known as habitat of Kashmir\u2019s endangered stag hangul.Seeking to puncture suggestions of a last-minute switch, Omar later said on X that venue had been chosen well in advance and arrangements were made beforehand. According to him, holding meeting away from usual political settings was always part of plan.Meeting reviewed govt\u2019s performance over past 18 months and mapped out party\u2019s next political moves. NC spokesman Tanvir Sadiq said participants resolved to intensify campaign for restoration of statehood and special status. Party sources said NC also decided to bring a bill seeking a ban on liquor in J&K.Meeting had drawn attention ever since Omar announced it on May 31. Political circles were already on edge after his remarks at a college function on May 6, where he said: \u201cTrust me, I want to burst like a cloudburst.\u201d He had indicated he would speak more openly on key issues after Eid.Opposition politicians quickly seized on choice of venue. Peoples Conference chairman Sajad Lone took a swipe at CM, saying: \u201cSo this is the bombshell threatened by CM sahib\u2026 Dachigam is actually symbolic for today\u2019s congregation. It is secluded, isolated, entry is restricted. That actually sums up the state of govt. Aloof, secluded, isolated and entry restricted.\u201dPDP\u2019s Iltija Mufti joined with a quip aimed at elected representatives. \u201cIn Kashmir MLAs are more endangered than hangul. Must designate a special separate wildlife park for them,\u201d she said.J&K lost its statehood on Aug 5, 2019, when Centre abrogated Article 370, revoked region\u2019s special constitutional status and bifurcated former state into two Union territories \u2014 including Ladakh. Since then, parties across Kashmir\u2019s political spectrum, including NC and PDP, have repeatedly demanded restoration of full statehood. Centre has publicly committed to restoring statehood at an appropriate stage, but timeline remains unclear.<\/div>\n
