Srinagar

Former JK CM Omar Abdullah on Tuesday lashed out at incumbent CM Mehbooba Mufti and held her responsible for mishandling the situation in Kashmir.

While reacting to the ECI’s notice for the cancellation of Lok Sabha by-polls in Islamabad, Omar said that Ms Mufti’s government was responsible for the “regression” in Kashmir. “It’s depressing to see how far we have regressed in Kashmir from the highs of the Assembly polls of 2014 to the cancelled election of 2017 (SIC),” he said in tweet.

Omar accused Mufti of “shamelessly clinging to power” with her “5 percent of the people” despite pulling the valley back to the situation it was in during the 90s.

In a series of tweets, Omar Abdullah claimed that the current government was making up excuses after mismanaging things in the valley.

Pertinently, Omar’s father and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah earlier demanded that President’s rule be imposed in the state.

“In many ways, this is similar to the symbolic victory against India scored by the release of militants for Mehbooba Mufti’s sister in 1990,” Omar claimed in a tweet, adding that the only thing that was keeping the current government in office was ‘a misplaced sense of pride in Delhi preventing admission of mistake’.
