Omar gave this argument for contesting the election.

Omar said, "These things put pressure on me and I cannot give wrong signals to people." Let us tell you that Omar Abdullah had to face defeat in the Lok Sabha election. He was defeated by independent candidate Sheikh Abdul Rashid Engineer on the Baramulla seat. He is in jail in a terror funding case.
