The statement was slammed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Arun Jaitley among other BJP leaders, who questioned the NC-ally Congress to “come clean on its stand” on the issue, many in the congress questioned the BJPs alliance with the PDP post this Congress-Ally statement.

Omar Abdullah said that the party stands by the statement and would strive to bring back a separate Prime Minister and Sadar-i-Riyasat like Jammu Kashmir had until 1965, when these posts were replaced by the chief minister and the governor.
