Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference working president Omar Abdullah Wednesday ridiculed the comment of union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar that demonetization has resulted in the decline in stone pelting in the valley.
Tech savvy Omar said, “thank goodness for the sensible and correct voices from the ground which are rejecting such comments by the Defence Minister.”
However, he said Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti should be rejecting such comments as well.
“Thank goodness for the sensible & correct voices from the ground. This is what @MehboobaMufti should have been saying as well,” Abdullah wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
The union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had said, “Earlier, there were rates – Rs 500 for stone pelting (on security forces in Kashmir) and Rs 1,000 for doing something else but PM has brought terror funding to zero.”
The junior Abdullah also ridiculed Union Human Resource and Development (HRD) Minister Prakesh Javadekar’s comment equating demonetisation and students in Kashmir appearing with examinations as surgical strikes. “Demonitisation=surgical strike; Kashmiri kids sitting their exams=surgical strike.
