JAMMU, Mar 17: War of words erupted between former Chief Minister and National Conference working president Omar Abdullah and Works Minister and PDP veteran Naeem Akhter after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement that he had asked Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to release first-time stone pelters in Kashmir.
“Mehbooba Mufti is told to remove cases against protesters, told to mind her tweets, told when she can speak & when she can’t. Have we ever had a more disempowered CM?’’, Omar tweeted in response to Rajnath Singh’s remarks.
“Yes sir we did have,’’ Naeem Akhter countered apparently pointing out that Omar was more disempowered Chief Minister.
