SRINAGAR: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Saturday hit out at former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik for “lying frequently”, saying he does not live up to his name.
According to media reports, Malik, currently the Governor of Goa, said two regional parties had refused to participate in the polls (in Jammu and Kashmir) under Pakistan’s pressure.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that we will conduct panchayat elections (in J&K). I broke the protocol and went to Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti’s residences. They refused to participate under Pakistan’s pressure. Terrorists also threatened yet the election was held successfully,”Malik said on Saturday.
Reacting to the remarks, Omar said the former J-K Governor never tires of lying. (AGENCIES)
