Distancing herself from PAGD was Mehbooba Mufti’s own decision: Omar Abdullah

BANDIPORA — The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday in Bandipora said that JKNC is not working to release only one Kashmiri if they come into power but they will raise the voice of every Kashmiri youth affected by violence in Kashmir.

Speaking with the reporters on the sidelines of a party workers’ convention in Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium Bandipora, Omar questioned the Bhartiya Janata Party that if the situation is peaceful in Kashmir valley, then why is Home Minister Amit Shah on a visit to Kashmir reviewing security arrangements.

He also said that People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) is still in the alliance. “The Peoples Democratic Party has distanced itself from PAGD which was their own decision.”

The convention was jointly attended by Congress senior leaders as well as National Conference leaders and workers.

“If elected to power, we will fight for every Kashmiri youth who has been affected by violence,” Omar said while addressing the workers.
