The all-powerful Congress Core Group in its last meeting too had opposed any move to prolong the curfew, fearing an angry reaction from the residents.

CM Omar Abdullah has come under criticism for the crisis. “Omar is unable to connect with the people...” another Congress leader said.The party will now wait for the all-party delegation to return from the state and give its feedback before taking any decision on Omar’s fate.
