Omar along with National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah and MP Justice Hasnain Masoodi met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
“We requested him that no precipitous steps of any sort should be taken that may result in situation in the state, particularly the valley, worsening,” Omar said.
Referring to rumours about scrapping Article 35 A he said they asked PM to let the issue be settled by the court and other matters be settled by an elected government.
