Omar tweets on ‘Pakistani flags in Kashmir, Khalistan posters in Jammu’
National Conference Working President and former chief minister, Omar Abdullah on Friday hit out at the ruling PDP-BJP coalition over waving of Pakistani flags in the Valley and emergence of Khalistani posters in Jammu, saying it has not been able to bring “regional balance” in the state.
“Pakistani flags in Kashmir & Khalistani posters in Jammu. This wasn’t the regional balance we were promised by the Modi-Mufti accord,” Omar wrote on micro blogging site, Twitter.
He also offered condolences on the death of a youth in the clashes in Jammu yesterday over removal of posters of slain Khalistani militant leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
“My heartfelt condolences to the family of the young man killed by police firing in Jammu today. May his soul rest in peace,” Omar said.
Omar also took a dig at Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed after BJP leader and MoS in PMO Jitendra Singh said that the proposed AIIMS would come up in Jammu first.
