He further denied the claims of having had any meetings or conversations with the government in the national capital, and said that he shared his \u201cgut feeling” over what to expect tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd no, I haven\u2019t had any meetings or conversations with people in Delhi. This is just a gut feeling. Let\u2019s see this time tomorrow,” he added.<\/p>\n

Abdullah\u2019s cryptic post came amid buzz over the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. The speculations around the key decision started after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah held one-to-one meetings with President Droupadi Murmu recently.<\/p>\n

However, the details of these meetings have not been disclosed to the public.<\/p>\n

What Happened On August 5, 2019?<\/h3>\n

On August 5, 2019, the Union government revoked the special status for Jammu and Kashmir and the autonomy granted to the Indian state under Article 370. Additionally, the <\/span>erstwhile state\u00a0<\/span>was bifurcated into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Five years after the abrogation of Article 370, the Election Commission of India conducted the assembly elections in the erstwhile state in 2024 on the directions of the Supreme Court. The alliance of the National Conference and Congress won the majority and Omar Abdullah was sworn in as the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n
