New Delhi, September 17: Amid reports of PDP move to revive ties with Congress, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah today met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after which he declared that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was not going to step down.
The senior Abdullah, who is Union Minister for Renewable Energy, refused to divulge details of his discussions with Gandhi and Singh, terming the talks as “private”.
He, however, asserted that Omar Abdullah was not going to resign and blamed the media for “creating situations” and “tragedy for the country”.
Omar Abdullah has “no intention of stepping down nor is there any such move being made,” the NC chief told reporters.
Attacking the media, he said it plays “tricks” so that “one fellow should go down and second fellow should come up”.
