Omar in talks with Centre over status

Abdullah, who heads the National Conference-led government in Jammu and Kashmir, camped in New Delhi last week for key meetings. During his stay, Omar met President Droupadi Murmu, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

His visit to New Delhi and his key meetings took place immediately after the Assembly passed a resolution on restoration of J&K's special status and constitutional guarantees. The resolution was passed in J&K Assembly by voice vote amid protest by BJP members.
