A senior police officer's order seeking the rescheduling of political activities in North Kashmir's Sopore has sparked a controversy with the National Conference accusing the UT administration of bias and obstructing a fair electoral process.
Sopore falls within the Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency that will go to polls on May 20 in the fifth phase of the seven phase parliamentary polls. NC leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is contesting the seat.
On May 8, the officer of Senior 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.
