Abdullah, who is the president of the regional National Conference, said he had no idea when elections to the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly would be held.

"But, whenever these are held our party will participate in them. We cannot stay away from elections," he said. Replying to a question about statehood and Article 370, he said, "We will fight for both and we will get these as our constitutional right."
