The former J-K chief minister, however, said the Election Commission has to hold the assembly polls before the Supreme Court's deadline of September 30.
Omar was asked by reporters whether any meeting of the PAGD is scheduled in the coming days in Kashmir, he feigned ignorance and said he had no affiliation with the PAGD. The PAGD was formed days before the abrogation of Article 370 and 35 A and currently NC, PDP, CPI(M) and Awami National Conference are its constituents.
Addressing a press conference at the PDP office in Srinagar, Mufti termed the NC's decision as "disappointing" & a "setback to the hopes of the people of J&K".
