Omar Abdullah said the National Conference has not yet received Delhi Police permission for its July 20 Jantar Mantar protest. He said the party will still travel to Delhi on July 19 and has an alternate plan if clearance does not come.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said the National Conference (NC) has not yet received permission from the Delhi Police to hold its proposed protest at Jantar Mantar on July 20.
Addressing the issue, Abdullah said the party has been kept waiting for a response from the Delhi Police.
"We haven't got the permission from the Delhi Police yet. We have been kept on waiting," he said.
Despite the pending approval, Abdullah said the National Conference would proceed with its plans to travel to the national capital.
"We will leave for New Delhi on July 19 come what may," he said.
The chief minister also said the party has prepared an alternative plan if permission for the Jantar Mantar protest is not granted.

He further said the National Conference would continue with its planned July 20 protest despite the passing away of his uncle.
"We are going ahead with our July 20 protest despite my uncle's passing away," Abdullah said.
