Srinagar, Jun 4: Unlike 2019, the Central office of National Conference Nawa-e-Subh wore a deserted look on Tuesday as there were no celebrations due to the defeat faced by the party’s vice president Omar Abdullah from north Kashmir seat.
The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) headquarters at Nawa-e-Subh remained silent and no celebration was seen despite the party winning two seats in the 2024 Indian parliament election—Srinagar and Anantnag-Rajouri.
After the announcement of NC former chief minister candidate Omar Abdullah’s defeat from Baramulla, a pall of gloom descended on the NC headquarters.
The National Conference won all three seats from Kashmir in 2019 and the party headquarters at Nawai-e-Subh celebrated the success in a grand way. However, this time, despite winning two seats, the headquarters remained silent.
Lastly, the victory of jailed leader Engineer Rashid from Baramulla coupled with Omar’s defeat has cast a pall of silence over Nawai-e-Subh. Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah, in an earlier press briefing, said he intended to speak to the media after receiving his winning certificate from Baramulla, but as fate would have it, it was not to be. He accepted the people’s verdict.
