Former J&K chief minister and vice president of National Conference (NC) Omar Abdullah said today that NC and Congress will fight the upcoming Lok Sabha elections jointly. 

A day after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced its decision to field candidates for all three Lok Sabha seats in the Valley, Omar Abdullah told reporters that his party and the Congress will fight the Lok Sabha elections jointly. 

He said that the NC president Farooq Abdullah is campaigning for the Congress candidates in the Jammu division and that the Congress has assured support to the NC in the Valley. 

He said that the picture would be clear in a few days since Congress is likely to come up with an announcement in this regard.
