National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah, chatting with reporters on the sidelines of his election marketing campaign rally in Bandipora, mentioned, “First of all, I am not able to understand what the purpose of his (HM’s) visit is because the election code is in place. Being the Home Minister, he cannot make any decision with political value. There is no BJP candidate for whom he can campaign. So, has he come here to support some candidates or parties? Has he come here to appeal for votes for their proxy parties?”
Omar added, “The Home Minister is taking a security review meeting, but at the same time, they say the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is fine and under control; that’s why people have done bumper voting. If that’s the case, then why take a security review meeting?” Omar questioned. “If he is taking a security meeting, it means the situation is not good, and they should stop this normalcy drama.”

Jamaat-e-Islami should participate in the upcoming elections here; earlier, they used to help different people during polls, seeking votes for others. Now, if they seek votes for themselves, it’s good.”
Not solely Omar, however Mehbooba additionally echoed related sentiments. “There is a lot of confusion among the people because Amarnath Yatra is still far away. So, he is not here for that, and if he is here to help his proxies, then the 1987 election rigging will be repeated, taking away the trust of the youth of Kashmir in the ballot. Kashmiris are very emotional about these elections and have participated wholeheartedly in the electoral process,” she mentioned.
Mehbooba additionally reacted to Shah’s assertion on PoK. “They (BJP) are saying Muslims will take away your palace, they will take away your buffalo, and now they say they will bring Muslims from another Kashmir also. Where will they keep them? They are taunting on every issue, saying you should go to Pakistan. First, learn to respect those who are here, learn to accept them, do not call them infiltrators. When you take care of them, then we will talk further,” she mentioned.
She took a jab at PM Modi’s assertion when the PM advised a reporter, “I will never divide this country on a religious basis; if I do, that will be the end of my public life.” Mehbooba reacted, saying, “He (PM) calls Muslims infiltrators. He says in his speech that Muslims will take away Mangalsutra, Muslims will take away your reservation. Mosques of Muslims are being demolished, houses of Muslims are being demolished, and the PM watches silently. Now, what he has said, if he does, it will be good news for this country.”
