J&K Assembly polls: 'Haven't forgotten what happened with J&K on August 5,' says Omar Abdullah

National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Wednesday expressed hope that voters in Jammu and Kashmir would avoid "fragmentation of their votes", warning that many independent candidates in the Valley were contesting with the aim to divide the ballot. The NC leader also said he is hopeful that people will vote in favour of the NC-Congress pre-poll alliance. The former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir said the assembly elections, which are being held here after 10 years, are very important. "We have not forgotten what happened with Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019, so it is a very important election in all respects," he said.
