India, Oct. 27 -- National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah has said while the National Conference won't let go off the issue of Article 370, seeking its restoration from the BJP, the very party responsible for its removal, is nothing short of "foolish".

"Our political stand will not change. We have never said that we will remain silent on Article 370 or that Article 370 is not an issue for us now. I have said this many times before the elections that hoping for the restoration of Article 370 from the people who snatched it will be foolish," he said.
