Former constituents of the Peoples Alliance for the Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), the National Conference (NC) and the J&K Peoples Conference (JKPC) have engaged in a war of words ahead of the Lok Sabha election in the Kashmir valley.
JKPC chairman Sajad Lone, who is contesting the election from north Kashmir’s Baramulla constituency, on Saturday launched a scathing attack on National Conference vice-president and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
“One of the most heavily guarded VIPs in India happens to be the ex-Chief Minister of J&K, Mr. Omar Abdullah. And Mr. Abdullah, feeling fully secure behind the impregnable security grid, has absolutely no qualms in scripting a discourse which has the greatest probability to end in violence and consume the lives of unguarded innocents,” Mr. Lone said.
