Omar Abdullah was sworn in as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday.
Abdullah is now the leader of Kashmir’s first elected government since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked the region’s special semi-autonomous status. Jammu and Kashmir is thus directly administered by the Indian federal government in New Delhi.
Abdullah is the chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) party.
