"Farooq and Omar Abdullah's INDIA Alliance Standoff Clarified"
After Farooq Abdullah indicated that the National Conference would contest elections on its own, his son Omar clarified that the party remains part of the INDIA bloc and is in talks with the Congress for seat-sharing in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Farooq Abdullah's comments caused a stir within the INDIA bloc, which has faced setbacks in various states, and come amid his summons by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with alleged financial irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association.
