SRINAGAR, Mar 5: NC leader Omar Abdullah said today the opposition parties need to switch strategies by focussing on issues such as rural distress and unemployment in order to deny Prime Minister Narendra Modi the space to “politicise” the Pulwama terror attack and the Balakote air strike.
The Indian air strike at a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror camp in Pakistan’s Balakote on February 26 came days after the suicide bombing in Pulwama, claimed by the JeM, in which 44 CRPF personnel were martyred.
“The opposition parties need to switch tracks & deny the PM the space to politicise the recent terror attack/air strikes. The way to do it is to keep the messaging focused on the economy, rural distress, unemployment, agriculture & all the other things BJP doesn’t want discussed,” Abdullah wrote on his Twitter handle.
