Omar asks EC to direct authorities to allow poll campaign as per schedule, accuses opponents of sabotage
Srinagar: National Conference vice-president and candidate for the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat Omar Abdullah Thursday asked the Election Commission to direct authorities in the constituency to allow his campaign programme as per schedule.
Abdullah’s letter to the EC comes a day after the Superintendent of Police in Sopore Divya D issued an official directive to the Additional District Magistrate, outlining the rescheduling of various political activities in the area.
Taking to social media platform ‘X’, Abdullah alleged that the police directive to cancel his election canvassing in some parts of the constituency was aimed at sabotaging his campaign.
“My opponents have been unnerved by the tremendous response my campaign is receiving throughout the North Kashmir. This move to sabotage my campaign in three important segments is further proof of their collective inability to match the response of the voters. They have taken to hiding behind the Administration which is going out of its way to help these BJP proxy candidates,” he said.
“I hope the @ECISVEEP will take note of this move by the administration to sabotage my campaign,” Abdullah added.
