PM Modi retorts on Omar Abdullah's controversial statement

 Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said he will work to restore the titles 'Wazir-e-Azam' (Prime Minister) and 'Sadr-e-Riyasat' (head of state) in Jammu and Kashmir, triggering an angry reaction from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Reacting to Modi's criticism, the National Conference leader said this had always been the stand of his party and there was nothing new about the issue.

After Modi criticized him for "seeking a separate Prime Minister and President for J&K", Abdullah tweeted: "Most grateful to PM Modi Sahib for taking my humble speech and giving it a nation platform.
