Omar Abdullah Claims PoK Would Have Joined J&K Post-Article 370

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah stated on Independence Day that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) would have sought to join Jammu and Kashmir if Article 370 had not been revoked.

Abdullah used his speech to demand the restoration of J&K's statehood, arguing that the region's political status remains a critical point of contention.

His remarks come as the Union Territory marks its 80th Independence Day with increased public participation compared to previous years.
