National Conference working president Omar Abdullah Tuesday expressed astonishment at the Congress for targeting NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in their campaign when he was no more in this world.

He also expressed surprise at the Congress targeting Farooq Abdullah, who is recovering from a life-threatening ailment in a hospital in the UK.

“I am surprised that the Congress leadership can stoop so low as to target the late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah when both of them are not anywhere in the election race. The former has left the world for heavenly abode and the latter is undergoing treatment outside the country,” Omar said. The Chief Minister said this while addressing election rallies at Darhal and Kalakote constituencies of Rajouri district organised for NC candidates Liyaqat Ali and Thakur Rachpal Singh.

Omar said the attitude of the Congress and its campaigning in the current Assembly elections clearly indicated that the party had no regard for stalwarts who had left the world, and it could go to any extent for vote bank politics.

He said the Congress had no concern for people or the welfare of the state but was only concerned about sticking to power. Omar asked Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad to recollect the communal hatred and regional frenzy created by him as the Chief Minister of the state in 2008 and leaving the state in a situation of uncertainty and confusion. He said the NC government had restored the tranquillity and reunited the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Omar took a dig at the PDP, saying that the boastfulness of the PDP had been punctured by reports that its patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was in deep trouble in the Anantnag constituency and was likely to lose the seat.

Omar said people were aware of the hollow promises of the PDP on employment and development.
