Centre steers clear of Omar's spy allegations 9/6/2015 11:41:29 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Sept 6: The Central Government chose to stay away surrounding Omar Abdullah's accusations of being spied on as Union minister Jitendra Singh claimed it was "between him and the state government".Omar has accused the Jammu and Kashmir government of spying on him, a charge the PDP denies Singh, MoS in the PMO, told reporters: "He (Omar) has blamed the state government and not the Centre. The Centre has nothing to do with it. It is something between him and the state government." He was here to attend a 'meet the press' function organised by the Press Club Jammu. Omar had claimed a person working for the Crime Investigation Department was keeping a watch on his house and had even stopped a journalist from entering his house. Omar had claimed on Friday that a CID person was posted outside his residence to keep a watch on people coming and going out. "Mufti government brazenly spying on me. A journalist interviewing me for a national daily just got stopped right outside my gate by CID person," he had tweeted. "She (journalist) was asked who she was and what the purpose of her visit was! Seriously guys if you want to know just ask me, I couldn't care less if you do," he added. Addressing Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, Omar wrote on the micro-blogging site: "Dear Mufti Sb, if you and your apparatchiks want to know what I'm up to pick up the phone and ask me. Please don't accost people outside my gate!" PDP promptly rejected the accusation, claiming the allegations were the former CM's way of drawing media attention and instead accusing him of spying on PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and other leaders when he was chief minister. Waheedur Rehmaan Parra, PDP leader and political advisor to the Chief Minister, said: "It was not a cop who had questioned the journalist outside the residence of Omar Abdullah. It was a National Conference worker who was denied entry to Omar's residence who had asked a few questions to the lady." -   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
