The article discusses the recent protest organized by the National Conference (NC) in Delhi, led by party president Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, demanding the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood.

The protest faced sharp criticism from opposition parties, particularly the BJP, which accused Omar of neglecting the flood crisis in Jammu and Kashmir.

BJP spokesperson Sajid Yousuf Shah criticized the CM for not being present during the floods, urging him to prioritize relief efforts over attending the protest in Delhi.

The PDP, meanwhile, argued that the NC protest was overshadowed by the CJP (Chief Justice of India) protest and suggested Omar should emulate Sonam Wangchuk, a Ladakh activist who mobilized youth for the NEET issue.

The PDP's Iltija Mufti described the NC protest as a 'lacklustre' event, emphasizing the need for the government to address the crisis effectively.

Despite the criticism, the CPM legislator M Y Tarigami supported the NC protest, highlighting its aim to remind the central government of its promises regarding Jammu and Kashmir's statehood.The article underscores the political tensions and differing perspectives on how to address the region's challenges.
