Senior Abdullah says that the attack was carried out with an eye on the polls since there was no Modi wave in the country
Just a day after National Conference candidate from Baramulla constituency Mohammad Akbar Lone raised pro-Pakistan slogans, his party president Dr Farooq Abdullah went a step further, questioning the timing of Balakot air strikes. Senior Abdullah said that the attack was carried out with an eye on the polls since there was no Modi wave in the country.
"Had that been the picture (2014 like Modi wave) they would not have done Balakot. They think they have got the new lease of life because of Balakot. They tried to portray that we would kneel down Pakistan but instead lost their own aircraft," Abdullah said.
Earlier, Abdullah filed his nomination papers from Srinagar-Bugdam parliamentary constituency at district development commissioner's office in Srinagar. He was accompanied by his son and party vice president Omar Abdullah besides others.
"I want that the next Prime Minister takes the people out of this crisis and takes it forward so that nobody goes hungry and no one is unemployed. I wish the next PM would be friends with Pakistan, China, Russia and other countries," Abdullah said.
Meanwhile, BJP has written to the chief electoral officer of Jammu and Kashmir seeking disqualification of NC candidate Mohommad Akbar Lone from Baramula parliamentary seat.
"It is to bring to your kind notice that National Conference Candidate from Baramulla parliamentary constituency Muhammad Akbar Lone through his speech resorted to ultimate disrespect to the country by raising pro Pakistan slogan--- "Pakistan zindabad" which has hurt the sentiments of people of not only Jammu and Kashmir but also the people of entire India", said Altaf Thakur, BJP State Spokesman in a letter.
Thakur requested CEO to take serious note of Akbar Lone's speech the videos of which are available on social media and disqualify him from the candidature of Baramulla Lok Sabha "so that peace and harmony is maintained in the country and Jammu and Kashmir"
