Srinagar, June 8:
National Conference president Farooq Abdullah is leaving for more than a month-long visit to London on Friday to escape the heat and dust of the Kashmir politics for a while.
He has entrusted the entire responsibility of running the party affairs and discuss the political affairs with Delhi to his son Omar Abdullah who was confirmed as a de-facto number two in the party hierarchy .
The party had done away with the posts of vice presidents held by senior leaders . They have now been nominated as State Secretaries , that under the p[arty constitution, have not much of the say in running affairs .
Farooq Abdullah effected these changes days before his departure for London.
The party is expecting a political upheaval in the state and in the country as well .
So far it has taken no stand on the issue of dialogue nor on the ceasefire. It has been talking in different voices and flip-flopping on various issues .
