Former J&K CM condemned Mehbooba Mufti's visit owing to the Handwara incident.
Opposition National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today hit out at Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for her "self-promoting" tour of Delhi when three persons were killed in firing by security forces in Handwara.
"3 (Three) people died as a result of firing by security forces and what does the J&K CM do? She continues her self-promoting tour of Delhi," Omar wrote on Twitter. Mehbooba, who was sworn in as the head of the PDP-BJP government on April 4, is currently on a visit to Delhi where she met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other Union Ministers including Home Minister RajnathSingh and Defence Minister Manohar Parikkar."This is the same person who until a year ago would rush anywhere in the valley to shed contrived tears at the slightest provocation," Omar wrote about the Chief Minister.
Three persons -- two youths and a woman -- were killed in firing by security forces at Handwara town, 85 km from here, during protests against the alleged molestation of a young girl by the army.The girl has denied that she was molested by the army personnel and accused two local youth of hatching a conspiracy.
