The court has said that we will hear this case after the elections. What is the use of hearing now? The elections are over and those people did not even get a chance to vote. If BJP wanted to win, it won. We will have to wait and see what happens in the rest of the country?

Gave this statement on speculations of NC MLAs leaving the party

On the speculations about some National Conference MLAs leaving the party, CM Abdullah said, “If some MLAs were preparing to leave, would I have been sitting here in the program? These are baseless talks. These are the same people who helped them in the Rajya Sabha as per the BJP’s request. We are not saying this. It was proved under the Right to Information. There is no such MLA in the National Conference, so they left the Tanzeem and came out to help the BJP.”

What did you say smilingly on the question of cabinet reshuffle?

Political rhetoric continues regarding two-thirds of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MPs, including Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, joining BJP. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and senior National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has now reacted to the political crisis facing the Aam Aadmi Party. He said that the cycle of Aaya Ram Gaya Ram never continued. MPs leaving a party is not a new thing, it has always been happening. Whatever party is in power, unfortunately these things happen every now and then.

Along with this, he said that all the MPs who have left AAP have not been elected by the public nor are they going to provide much benefit to BJP. On the questions asked by the media, Omar Abdullah said, “Okay, these people have left, AAP will suffer some loss due to this, but you see for yourself, there is not a single one of them who can win his seat on his own.”

‘If these people were so strong, they would have been MLAs’

The senior leader of the National Conference further said, “All of them have come by parachute through the Rajya Sabha. I do not think that even one of them is in a position to win the Panchayat elections on his own strength. Okay, there was fanfare, the news was made, they are gone. If these people were so strong, they would have been MLAs, members of the Lok Sabha. They have gone to the Rajya Sabha, you know as well as I do why the Aam Aadmi Party made them sit in the Rajya Sabha. I do not think that even one of them will support the BJP at the grassroots level. Will also get 10 votes.”

It should be noted that after leaving AAP, 3 AAP MPs including Raghav Chadha have joined BJP. AAP has termed the defection of these MPs as betrayal of Punjab. AAP workers in Jalandhar staged a strong protest against these MPs on Saturday (April 25) and expressed their protest by writing ‘traitor’.

It was decided that at present there is no shortage of anything. Be it diesel, petrol or LGP. The situation has not changed within two-four days.”

The CM further said, “The Central Government has also taken stock of the situation. It has not given any instructions for reduction in usage anywhere. Therefore, I request all the people who are sitting in queues outside the petrol pump on the basis of rumors on social media, do not force us. Otherwise, I will close the petrol pump for a few days. Until these rumors stop. Because on the basis of rumors, you people are camping outside the petrol pump. If you persist then the situation will worsen.”

Question on the intention of the solution

Committee formed, but report not released

PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has urged Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to raise with the Central Government the issue of alleged ill-treatment of Kashmiri students and workers across the country after the blast at the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10.

Mehbooba Mufti said that the entire people of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be punished for the crime of one person. He has appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to talk to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on this serious issue because Kashmiris living outside the state are scared.

‘Anger over the blast is justified, but harassing innocents is wrong’

Speaking to the media after meeting the family of Bilal Ahmed, who was injured in the Red Fort blast in Kangan in Ganderbal district, Mehbooba said, “There is anger in the entire country over the blast at the Red Fort, in which innocent people were killed. But this does not mean that Kashmiris who have gone to earn their livelihood or study should be made victims of this anger.”

He said that videos and news coming on social media show that Kashmiris living outside are facing difficulties. In such a situation, it is important to ensure their safety.

‘It is worrying for the doctor to become a human bomb’

Referring to the blast accused Dr. Umar Nabi, Mehbooba Mufti described it as very worrying for the society. She said, “As a mother, I feel pained to think why an educated youth like Dr. Umar Nabi, who should have been saving people’s lives, is choosing the path of death?”

He said that the doctor has not only taken his own life and that of others, but has also put the lives of the common people of Jammu and Kashmir in trouble. Mehbooba has appealed to religious leaders like Ulemas and Mirwaiz to come forward and explain to the youth not to adopt the path of violence and suicide.

‘Suffocation due to removal of Article 370, but violence is not the solution’

Taking aim at the policies of the central government, Mehbooba said that there is an “atmosphere of fear and suffocation” in Jammu and Kashmir after the removal of Article 370 in 2019. Arrests are being made and there is pressure on people. However, he clarified that, “This suffocation does not mean that our youth should become suicide bombers. Giving up one’s life and taking the lives of others cannot be the way to fight any situation.”

Injured Bilal’s family hopes for help

Talking about Bilal Ahmed who was injured in the blast, Mehbooba said that he had gone to Delhi to earn his living and his family is very poor. He expressed hope from the administration that proper care will be taken of Bilal and his family.

In the end, the PDP chief reiterated that those involved in terrorism should be given strict punishment, but oppression of common Kashmiris in its name is not acceptable.
