Omar takes dig at PM Modi over his silence on attacks on Kashmiri’s

National Conference (NC) Vice president and former chief minister, Omar Abdullah Thursday said he has failed to understand the priority of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing silence maintained by him (Modi) over the attacks on Kashmiris.

Addressing a presser on Thursday, Omar said post Lethpora attack, the Kashmiris inlcuding students, traders and others were targeted systematically but the PM Modi has maintained silence over it. “PM Modi has made a statement claiming those criticizing the train will be punished but failed to utter a single word over the attacks on Kashmiris since last Thursday,” he said.

“By remaining tightlipped so far over the attacks on Kashmiris, I fail to understand the priories of PM Modi,” he said, adding that in the past when such kind of situation took place, the then Prime Minister himself came on National TV and urged for maintaining calm.

Meanwhile, Omar said the party would knock the doors of court in case the decision to withdraw security cover of mainstream politicians is not revisited.

He said withdrawing security from pro-freedom was the decision of government, that is upto them to decide what they have to do but “as I have also mentioned it in a tweet that decision to withdraw security from mainstream politicians must be revisited.”
