Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed Para on Friday accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of failing to honour his election promises and demanded that he apologise to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Omar Abdullah owes an apology, not a signature campaign, for normalising August 5. With 50 MLAs behind him, he has reduced the fight for J&K’s statehood to mere tokenism, after going door-to-door seeking votes on the promise of restoring the pre–August 5 status,” Para said in a post on X.
Calling Abdullah’s signature drive a “betrayal,” the PDP leader said, “This is not just a retreat, it’s a betrayal. The people gave him a historic mandate to fight for Article 370 and statehood, not to stage political theatre. If he has surrendered, he should admit it and apologise to every citizen of J&K for making promises he never intended to keep.”
