Omar Abdullah to initiate legal action against BJP over ‘terror-friendly’ parties remark

SRINAGAR, (PTK): Upset with the BJP terming the three parties who had come together to form a new coalition in Jammu-Kashmir as “terror-friendly” parties, National Conference leader and former state chief minister Omar Abdullah says his party will take legal action against BJP.

“This is ridiculous, to say the least. It is outright defamatory. It is too much now. They (BJP) had nothing to say in response to us so they make this defamatory allegation. Till yesterday, they were partners of PDP.

“Our party will explore the option of legal action against BJP. Such allegations cannot go unanswered. Because non-BJP parties have the numbers in assembly and are coming together to form a government, they become ‘terror-friendly’ and ‘anti-national’. This won’t be tolerated,” he said.

The J&K Assembly, kept in suspended animation since June when Governor’s Rule was imposed after the BJP ended its alliance with the PDP to bring down the Mehbooba Mufti coalition, was dissolved shortly after PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti and J&K People’s Conference chief Sajad Gani Lone staked separate claims to form a government.
