Hope first-time voters ask PM Modi why Balakot air strike became necessary: Omar

SRINAGAR: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah Tuesday hoped that first-time voters in this Lok Sabha election ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi why the Balakot air strike became necessary.

“I hope the first-time voters ask PM Modi why Balakote became necessary in the first place. Why did the Pulwama attack succeed? On whose watch have attacks in Uri, Pathankote, Sunjwan (Jammu), Nagrota & Pulwama happened? Don’t reward Balakote, punish Pulwama! (sic)” Abdullah tweeted.

He was reacting to the Prime Minister’s remarks at an election rally in Latur in Maharashtra, asking first-time voters to dedicate their vote to those who carried out the air strike in Balakot. (AGENCIES)
