Will Be 'Off-Grid' For Few Weeks: Omar After Legal Setbacks


(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- National conference leader Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said he will go“off-grid” for few weeks following two“deeply disappointing” days but promised to return early next year to face challenges, including two elections in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a long post on X, the former chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir apparently referred to the Supreme Court upholding the abrogation of Article 370 and the Delhi High Court refusing to grant him divorce from his estranged wife Payal Abdullah.

“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,” Abdullah said in the post.
