Omar expresses anguish over Mehbooba's absence in Delhi meeting
Srinagar, July 12 (IBNS): National Conference working president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday raised questions on Jammu and Kashmir being "unrepresented" at a high-level meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to review the law and order situation of the state following the spate of violence.
In a tweet, Omar said that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's presence at the meeting could have been ensured via video-conferencing.
"I understand if Mehbooba Mufti didn't leave the state to attend (the meeting) but why not by video conference? State unrepresented," Omar tweeted soon after the meeting began at 7 RCR, the official residence of the Prime Minister.
The meeting was attended by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and other high officials.
