Srinagar: After the Supreme Court of India upheld the Centre’s decision of reading down Article 370, majority among the political class of Kashmir expressed displeasure at it.

Day after the decision, Former Chief Minister and Jammu and Kashmir Vice President Omar Abdullah took to micro-blogging site X and said, ” Who was it who said it’s not how hard you can hit, it’s how hard you can get hit & still keep moving forward? The last two days have been deeply disappointing both personally & professionally but I refuse to give up & slink away. It’s that time of the year when I take some time to be with those I care about, to refresh, recharge & come back stronger.”

“I’m going off-grid for a few weeks. Will come back early in the new year fighting fit & ready to face the challenges that 2024 will throw at me, including at least two elections in J&K. The fights & struggles will continue,” Omar added.
