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.
Earlier Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the all party meet on Sunday ahead of the crucial winter session of Parliament beginning from Monday.
Since the abrogation of Article 370, at least 50 politicians from Kashmir have been detained at Centaur Hotel situated along the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar.
But the picture of the ebb and flow of near normal life that we had seen was far from mass civil disobedience or resolute civil curfew; instead it looks like resilient life adjusting to the new realities without many hiccups. Now with J&K becoming a Union Territory, the state police have finally got the liberty to function autonomously as a professional force.
These politicians were released after they gave an undertaking that they will not attempt to disrupt peace.
No reason was given for the development which came on a day when a 15-member delegation of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference from Jammu met their detained party president Farooq Abdullah and vice president Omar Abdullah in Srinagar.
