Just minutes after the Supreme Court's landmark verdict upholding the abrogation of Article 370, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah tweeted in response: "Aisi taisi democracy".
"Azad Sb is truly Azad. He’s free to visit his party office while some of us are locked up with our gates chained. Media personnel aren’t being allowed on Gupkar road to take any reactions from us. Mother of democracy? More like aise taise Democracy," he wrote.
Shortly afterwards, he further tweeted: "Disappointed but not disheartened. The struggle will continue. It took the BJP decades to reach here. We are also prepared for the long haul. #WeShallOvercome #Article370"
The apex court on Monday upheld the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the Article was a temporary provision.
The ruling came during the top court's hearing on a batch of petitions by the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the National Conference (NC) challenging the abrogation of Article 370.
Article 370 was abrogated in 2019 to split the state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Delivering its verdict, the top court said, "Not every decision of the Centre can be challenged. Jammu and Kashmir did not retain its sovereignty when it decided to join the Union of India."
The apex court also urged the Centre to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible.
"Hold elections by September 30, 2024. Restore statehood as early as possible," the top court said, while delivering its judgment.
