Budgam (Jammu and Kashmir): National Conference (NC) working President Omar Abdullah on Saturday lashed out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserting that he is capable of building a temple inside every mosque, potentially creating chaos across the country. "The minister that BJP has selected has never been true to his words. Yogi Adityanath is someone who can build temple inside every mosque, this is never going to unite the country but rather break it soon. So why does Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti have to join hands with them," said Abdullah. Abdullah further stated that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) needs to be blamed for the current volatile situation in the Valley, instead of working on the security structure Mufti is making friendly ties with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "What Kashmiris underwent in 2016 or are facing now is beyond comprehension and expression. PDP had pushed Kashmiri youth to the wall and robbing them of an opportunity to live with peace and dignity. Rather than looking at the security structure Mehbooba Mufti is making friendly ties with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)," said Abdullah. Abdullah further stated that the anti-people policy of the PDP-BJP indulgence has brought Kashmir at the volatile cross roads of history where nothing is visible except fear and harassment. "The scenario across the Valley is so grim that the people are apprehensive about their safety with economic activity and development coming to grinding halt. The current insensitive dispensation has exposed people to administrative inertia, as a result of which they were suffering on all fronts," said Abdullah. Abdullah further asked PDP as to what happened to all the promises of jobs for youth and above all resolving political problem of Kashmir. "Yes, if PDP can take credit of anything, it is strengthened of the unbridled forces with additional 5,000 pellet guns and seven lakh pellets to target Kashmiri youth", he added. Abdullah, along with senior leaders addressed workers at Alamnag, Poshkar, Sugan, Panziyara and Nasserpora today. Tanivir Sadiq, Professor Abdul Majeed Mattoo and Mr Mohammed Ibrahim, Block President also addressed the election meetings.
