| Omar Abdullah's hypocrisy exposed; demands election in J&K but boycotts poll panel team | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 14: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah's election hypocrisy was exposed on Thursday when he refused to meet a team of the Election Commission of India, which is in Jammu and Kashmir to hold deliberations on holding Assembly Elections in the state.
Abdullah's action is in stark contrast to the stand he has taken after the poll panel decided not to simultaneously hold Assembly Elections in J&K along with the Lok Sabha Elections in April and May.
Earlier this week, the former J&K chief minister slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not allowing the people of Jammu and Kashmir an opportunity to elect a government.
Yesterday made the statement after PM Modi, in a series of tweets, asked people to vote in record numbers in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"Dear @narendramodi Sahib, it is good to see you appealing to famous people to increase voter turnout. However, at the same time, your government has consciously disenfranchised people in J&K by not holding Assembly elections on time," the National Conference leader had tweeted.
Abdullah has been very critical of the Union government led by the BJP, stating it was indirectly ruling J&K through its nominee (governor).
"The right to choose an elected government, as opposed to being governed by a hand-picked nominee of the Central government, is the hallmark of the sort of democracy you are tweeting about. Please give us our democratic right to choose our own government," he said. |
