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 and Azad exchanged barbs as both are currently campaigning in the Chenab Valley region consisting of the Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban districts of the Jammu division.
Accompanied by Mian Altaf, Omar was addressing a largely attended rally in South Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
The discourse Lone referred to is Abdullah's repeated allegations linking people and parties to the BJP and labelling them as "anti-Muslim."
The pandemic has been registering an alarming surge in J&K during the last week and the number of people testing positive has steadily increased.
He said the evolving situation has made it pretty clear that the outlook of both the countries has undergone a big change and has been replaced with a policy of peaceful engagement.
The two former Chief Ministers were said to be planning to travel out of Srinagar to address party workers.
Omar pointed out that the Prime Minister while launching the health insurance scheme for residents of Jammu and Kashmir earlier during the day claimed that democracy has won during the DDC elections. However, the democratic win of the PAGD candidates was now being murdered by making them join the JKAP.
Omar Abdullah tweeted; "The people have endorsed this alliance and we now have the mandate to continue to fight for what we started with, which is our opposition to the changes made on august 5, 2019".
