Srinagar, July 16 -- Jammu and Kashmir chief minister (CM) Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said there would be no change in his party's plan to hold protest over the delay in restoration of statehood, in the wake of the death of his uncle, Sheikh Mustafa Kamal. " There will be no change. We will leave for Delhi on July 19," Omar told reporters after visiting his uncle's residence to pay condolences. Omar said his uncle would not have wanted the party to change the programme. "On July 11, Dr Kamal was very serious. Even on that day my father, Farooq Abdullah, told me that the program scheduled for July 12, in Jammu, won't change," Omar told reporters in Srinagar. When asked whether the party had received permission for the July 20 protest, "We are still waiting for the permission. We will leave for Delhi and if permission isn't granted in Delhi, the leadership will take the decision about the program." The National Conference (NC), during its meeting held earlier this month, had announced that they hold a protest at Jantar Mantar to demand statehood restoration for the Union Territory. The protest has been scheduled for July 20--first day of Parliament session. A senior NC legislator said: "We will be leaving for Delhi on July 19. All the legislators and senior leaders will be taking part in this protest." National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Thursday had sent invitations to 54 leaders, including national leaders, heads of different political parties of J&K, and some prominent citizens, inviting them to join a peaceful, democratic protest at Jantar Mantar to demand restoration ofstatehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
