Omar Abdullah reiterates NC-PDP alliance amid BJP criticism

SRINAGAR — National Conference Vice-President Omar Abdullah on Tuesday reiterated that NC and PDP are together and are part of the INDIA alliance.

He asked the media to expose the A team, B team and C team of BJP instead of questioning the National Conference and PDP unnecessarily over the alliance.

“When PDP President Mehooba Mufti Ji herself said that Farooq Sahib and we are united and are together to save the Constitution of the country and we will not break the alliance, then why you people are trying to make us fight here,” Omar Abdullah told reporters, as per the news agency KNS, in south Kashmir’s Anantnag.

He said, “You (media) should expose A, B and C teams of BJP instead of questioning NC and PDP over the alliance.”

Speaking on the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and others, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that it is unfortunate that opposition leaders are being arrested before the election. “It is a very sadistic situation that opposition leaders are being arrested. It will have serious results on the democracy of our India,” he said.

He appealed to the Supreme Court and Election Commission of India (ECI) to take strict note of the arrest of opposition leaders ahead of elections. “Supreme Court and ECI shouldn’t ignore this matter. They should intervene in it and using agencies during elections should be stopped forthwith,” Omar Abdullah added.
