Srinagar: National Conference vice-president and party’s candidate for Ganderbal and Budgam constituencies, Omar Abdullah on Monday asked Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti to apologise to the people for aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party twice in 2015 and 2016 and also about her “milk and toffee” remark.
Speaking with reporters, as per the news agency KNO, Omar Abdullah said Mehbooba Mufti should talk more about herself and less about them. He said that she should come clear why she brought BJP here in 2015 and later in 2016 and made an irresponsible “milk and toffee’ remark.
“She should apologise to the people first and then make any statement,” he said.
He also said that the government should review cases against those lodged in false cases in different jails across the country.
Reacting to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement regarding talks with Pakistan, Omar questioned the stand, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh have given clean chit to Pakistan by blaming three families (Gandhis, Abdullahs and Muftis) for terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
“If Pak has been given clean chit,, why can’t talks be held with them?” he asked, adding that in J&K, BJP has been blaming three families for terrorism while in the rest of the country they blame Pakistan for it. “They (BJP) should come clear about the role of Pakistan,” he said. (KNO)
