SRINAGAR, Jun 2: A heated up situation was witnessed as PDP president Mehbooba Mufti claimed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah ignored her meeting requests.
Omar Abdullah denied and accused Mehbooba of misrepresenting facts to score political points.
In a letter posted on social media addressed to the chief minister and leaders across the political spectrum, including the BJP, Mehbooba urged Jammu and Kashmir’s fractured political leadership to take a cue from Ladakh’s recent success and unite to safeguard the region’s special identity and constitutional rights.
Mehbooba claimed she was forced to write publicly because she had sought an appointment with CM Omar Abdullah, but “due to his preoccupation, it has not been possible.”
Omar Abdullah hit back and said “Mehbooba Mufti Sahiba, we spoke on Saturday when you asked to meet. I told you I was in Pahalgam on Sunday and would get in touch on Monday or Tuesday to fix to meet.
“Your letter gives the impression that I’ve kept you waiting for an appointment for weeks on end, which is clearly not the case. Be that as it may, your letter to me is now in the public domain,” he said in a post on X.
