Speaking to reporters during her visit to Budgam district, Mehbooba expressed dissatisfaction with the resolution, stating that it failed to address the abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019.
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, on Wednesday, described the resolution on the restoration of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir moved by the National Conference (NC) in the legislative assembly as “half-hearted” and “lacking conviction”.
The resolution, passed by voice vote, urged the Centre to engage in dialogue with elected representatives to restore the region's special status.
It is not even a month since the NC came to power, and Omar's trusted MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, who recently won the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat on NC’s ticket, has created ripples in the political scene of Kashmir.
The Omar Abdullah-led National Conference (NC) government is learnt to have made up its mind to offer the post of deputy speaker to the BJP, the second largest party in the J&K Assembly.
The Kashmir valley is, these days echoing with a high pitch campaign for the three Lok Sabha seats across the valley but the interesting key poll plank of the regional parties is of calling each other a “stooge of BJP”.
Omar was ostensibly referring to Mehbooba Mufti who has filed her nomination for the seat as PDP candidate against NC’s Gujjar spiritual leader Mian Altaf.
The minister also accused the Congress, National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of staging fake encounters and handing over guns in the hands of the Kashmiri youth and these parties are responsible for encouraging terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh is the BJP candidate for the seat that is witnessing a high-pitched campaign.
The party also announced to field a senior NC leader Aga Syed Ruhulla from Srinagar, which is presently represented by the party chief Dr Farooq Abdullah.
