Omar Abdullah continues to be in search of retaining the five-year - old alliance with the Congress and in order to ensure the Congress high command's support to his plea for forging a pre-poll alliance with the Congress during the ensuing Assembly election Omar\ had a detailed session with Sonia Gandhi and other Congress leaders in the centre. No doubt he is aware of the fact that the majority of leaders belonging to the state unit of the Congress are opposed to any pre-poll alliance with the NC Omar still made a last minute bid to seek Sonia's nod for the alliance.
