Ghulam Nabi Azad Mocks Omar Abdullah for Spending Summers In London During Lok Sabha Elections

The Udhampur-Kathua parliamentary constituency, set to vote in the first phase of the Lok Sabha election on April 19, features a contest between Congress’s Lal Singh and Union minister and BJP candidate Jitendra Singh. G M Saroori of DPAP is among 10 other candidates competing in the constituency.

During a speech, Mr. Azad took a jab at National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah, questioning his connection to the region and criticizing his absence during the area’s difficulties. Mr. Azad also accused the NC of supporting the BJP’s agenda for its own interests at the expense of the people’s welfare.

In his critique, Mr. Azad highlighted the lack of action from political leaders on issues such as land eviction orders and the abolition of Article 370. He accused the NC leaders of aligning with the BJP, suggesting that they were aiding the BJP in their actions and asserting that NC is the BJP’s “A team.”

Additionally, Mr. Azad raised concerns about the luxurious living conditions of Omar Abdullah and his associates despite the restrictions imposed in the region. He contrasted his own commitment to the alleviation of people’s suffering with what he perceived as the leisurely conduct of others.

Mr. Azad also questioned the Congress party’s stance on Article 370, criticizing what he viewed as a lack of vocal support for the issue. He emphasized his advocacy for Article 370 and 35A, as well as the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.

Mr. Azad expressed his frustration with the Congress’s perceived lack of action in confronting the BJP, suggesting that the party seemed more focused on targeting his party rather than addressing critical issues. *(The headline is unchanged, and the story has not been edited by NDTV staff.
