Srinagar, Nov. 28 -- Stating that Jammu and Kashmir did not witness incidents like the recent Pahalgam and Delhi attacks when the National Conference was heading the government as a full-fledged state, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said that law and order be handover back to the elected government and "take it away if we fail."

Addressing a press conference after the conclusion of the NC Working Committee's two-day meeting, Omar said the Union Government cannot deny elected representatives their rightful authority while simultaneously blaming them for security lapses.

"When we governed as a state, no Pahalgam attack happened, no Delhi attack happened. Give us law and order. If we cannot handle it, take it back," he said.
