Stage set for tomorrow’s polling in high profile Udhampur LS seat amid high security
Jammu and Kashmir has five Lok Sabha constituencies and each one will go to polls in separate phases because of security reasons.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the grenade attack in J-K’s Shopian town on Monday, while saying that the terrorist attack is an act of “cowardice”.
While responding to a tweet stating that the grenade attack was in contempt of the holy month of Ramzan, Abdullah said, “Agree completely. This terrorist attack is an act of cowardice & should be resoundingly condemned by all”.
