The National Conference today ruled out any threat to the Jammu and Kashmir government headed by Omar Abdullah, saying it was strong enough to face any challenge.
“There is no threat to the government. The coalition partners (NC and Congress) are strong. There is no question of toppling the government,” NC president and Union Minister Farooq Abdullah told reporters after a meeting with Home Minister P Chidambaram.
Abdullah is understood to have discussed with Chidambaram the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the steps being taken by the state government to bring back normalcy.
