JAMMU, Jan 10: Amidst speculations over the back channel moves of People’s Democratic Party on formation of a popular Government in Jammu and Kashmir, the former Chief Minister and National Conference working president Omar Abdullah today mocked at reports and political chatter in this regard.
“Anyone who tells me the visuals of Mehbooba at her father’s grave today, were of a woman calculating political chess moves is delusional,” Omar tweets on social micro blogging site, this evening.
“You have a grief stricken daughter who is not ready to take over just yet. All the other stuff is well crafted smoke & mirror, nothing more,” he tweeted while in reference to the speculative reports by a section of media on possibilities being explored by PDP for the formation of new Government in J&K.
In another tweet of the series, Omar also pooh-poohed the political chatter by the so called experts on purported developments in PDP and BJP. ” So much needless speculation about what is & isn’t happening in the PDP or BJP and all of it coming from people who don’t have a clue,” he tweets.
Pertinent to mention that today on congregational Feteha of Late Mufti Mohd Sayeed, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and other senior leaders visited Mehbooba Mufti triggering several speculations on ifs and buts on formation of new Government in J&K as both PDP and BJP remained tight lipped over the suspense.
Meanwhile, reacting to a tweet that a family was denied accommodation in Delhi by hotels with the result they had to spend their night at a railway station, Omar Abdullah said “Such complaints are commonplace. Hotel rooms, PG & rental accommodation, happens everywhere #shame.”
The tweet alleged that one Arif, a resident of Jammu, and his sister and brother-in-law were denied hotel room in Delhi with the result they had to spent the entire night on a railway station since there was morning train for Uttarakhand this morning. “We approached three hotels but were denied a room,” he has said. Thousands of people from Jammu and Kashmir, particularly from the Valley, visit different parts of the country, specially Delhi, Mumbai and Ajmer Sharief during winter every year.
