SRINAGAR, Sept 27:
Reacting over the ban of internet services in Jammu and Kashmir, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said, “the irony of listening to Prime Minister Narendra Modi lecturing about connected digital India while we are totally disconnected”.
The PDP-BJP regime is pushing people of the State to the wall”, he said.
Omar said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was living up to his promise of making the State like Gujarat.
“He had promised to make the State like Gujarat. Now, I guess, we are competing with Gujarat as to who bans the internet more”, Omar said.
Fearing communal tension in the backdrop of the High Court directive for implementation of an old law that bans slaughter and selling of beef, the authorities banned internet so that no such videos or pictures were uploaded on social networking sites which could cause communal tension in the State.
