Omar could serve J-K better: Farooq

The former Chief Minister, who is a Rajya Sabha member, said he would like to continue in the Upper House of Parliament.

8220;I would rather be in Parliament,8221; he said.

The party had earlier projected Abdullah senior as its chief ministerial candidate during the elections to the 87-member assembly.

Abdullah, however, said since the state was heading for a hung Assembly, the NC would like to take a decision on chief ministership in consultation with the future coalition partner.

8220;The two parties will decide about the Chief Minister candidate. We have gone to the people with the promise of providing a good governance,8221; he said.

The NC patron dismissed the suggestion that the relations between him and his son Omar was not cordial by saying 8220;father and son do not differ8221;.
