National Conference (NC) vice-president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah while hitting out at Home Minister Amit Shah. Omar in his tweet has alleged that candidates in fray for the District Development Council (DDC) polls beginning later this month in Jammu and Kashmir were being stopped from
campaigning.
Taking to Twitter, Abdullah asked whether this was the safe and terror-free Jammu and Kashmir Union Home Minister Amit Shah had tweeted about earlier.
“What sort of elections are being held in J&K where candidates are being stopped from campaigning? Is this the safe, terror free J&K the Home Minister was tweeting about yesterday,” Omar said.

In another scathing tweet, Omar wrote, The election is fast becoming a farce & also exposes the hollow claims of both the centre & state about the improved security situation in J&K.
