SRINAGAR, Aug 22: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today accused the Centre and the State Government of sabotaging the NSA-level talks by detaining separatist leaders ahead of their meeting with Pakistan’s National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz.
“Mufti(Mohammad Sayeed)-(Narendra) Modi jugalbandi – first I’ll detain them, then you detain them & together we’ll make sure these talks just don’t take place. Wah!” Omar wrote on microblogging site Twitter.
The National Conference working president was commenting on the detention of senior separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah at Delhi Airport as he was on his way to meet Aziz tomorrow.
Omar hit out at the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister saying his claims about opening of Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Road and Indo-Pakistan ceasefire have fallen apart.
“This was the Mufti Syed (sic) who laid claim to the Srinagar-Muzaffrabad road opening & Indo-Pak ceasefire. How the mighty fall!,” he said.
Omar said the “agenda of alliance” between PDP and BJP for governance in Jammu and Kashmir has been shredded today.
“Spare a thought for the @BJP4India/@jkpdp ‘Agenda for Alliance’ well & truly shredded today. May it rest in pieces,” he added.
Earlier in the day, Omar had suggested shifting the venue of Indo-Pak NSA-level talks from Delhi to Islamabad to call Pakistan’s “bluff”.
“Here’s a thought – why doesn’t the Indian NSA call Pakistan’s bluff & shift the venue to Islamabad since both sides are so keen to talk?” he posted on Twitter.
