The Congress has become the whipping boy for all the political parties in the last round of campaigning in Jammu region. Addressing twin election rallies in Rajouri district, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday launched a blistering attack targeting Congress leadership for making late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah subject matter of their campaign when he is no more in this world as also attacking Farooq Abdullah who is recovering from life threatening ailment in a health institution outside the country.
“I am surprised to observe that Congress leadership can stoop so low to target late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah when both of these are not anywhere in the election race. The former has left the world for heavenly aboard and the later is undergoing treatment outside the country,” he said and ridiculed the Congress for this kind of behaviour and uncalled for approach.
Addressing election rallies at Darhal and Kalakote Assembly constituencies in favour of National Conference Candidates Ch liyaqat Ali and Thakur Rachpal Singh, Omar said the attitude of Congress and its campaigning in the current Assembly election clearly indicate that this party has no regard for the stalwarts who have left the world, and for vote bank politics Congress can go to the extent of targeting late personalities.
He said their statements in this regard lucidly unveil the Congress’s thirst for power.
