NC’s fight in Anantnag is not against BJP since Mehbooba’s party no longer a friend: Omar
Omar was ostensibly referring to Mehbooba Mufti who has filed her nomination for the seat as PDP candidate against NC’s Gujjar spiritual leader Mian Altaf.
Omar was ostensibly referring to Mehbooba Mufti who has filed her nomination for the seat as PDP candidate against NC’s Gujjar spiritual leader Mian Altaf.
Mehbooba was taking part in a roadshow in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam area during her election campaign.
She said the PDP became the “biggest target” after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and its leaders were either “lured or blackmailed” to break away from it
The NC had unilaterally announced that it would field its candidates on all the three seats and fielded Mian Altaf from Anantnag. The NC had left two seats in Jammu for the Congress as part of the INDIA bloc's seat-sharing agreement.
Mehbooba was responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement wherein he said that the dynastic parties that did not let J&K develop should be wiped out in the Lok Sabha elections.
The DDC elections for 20 districts of J&K will begin on 28 November when polling for the first phase will be held.
“We had thought Modi ji with such a big mandate will do bigger things, but it seems they haven’t come out of the election mode,” said Mehbooba.
PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti and Omar have condemned killing of three BJP activists in a terror attack in Kulgam.
Moreover, the matter is sub judice in the Supreme Court, custodian of the constitution. Yet Farooq has invited China to help in reversing the abrogation of 370.
The meeting comes a day after Mehbooba Mufti was released on late Tuesday night after being in detention for 14 months since the abrogation of the Article 370 on August 5, 2019, by the Narendra Modi-led government at the centre.
