SRINAGAR, Nov 17: After Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on Gupkar Declaration calling it a gang, former J&K CM Omar Abdullah lashed at him.
Omar said “We are not a “gang” Amit Shah ji, we are a legitimate political alliance having fought & continuing to fight elections, much to your disappointment.
The Gupkar Gang is going global! They want foreign forces to intervene in Jammu and Kashmir. The Gupkar Gang also insults India’s Tricolour. Do Sonia Ji and Rahul Ji support such moves of the Gupkar Gang ? They should make their stand crystal clear to the people of India.

Omar further said “Only in J&K can leaders be detained & called anti-national for participating in elections & supporting the democratic process. The truth is all those who oppose the ideology of the BJP are labelled “corrupt & anti-national”. I can understand the frustration behind this attack by the Hon’ble Home Minister. He had been briefed that the People’s Alliance was preparing to boycott elections. This would have allowed the BJP & newly formed King’s party a free run in J&K. We didn’t oblige them.”

AT the same time, Jammu and Kashmir Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief G A Mir on Tuesday hit back at the Union Home Minister Amit Shah who had launched an attack at the Congress, saying the party and the Gupkar Gang want to take “J&K back to the era of terror and turmoil”.
Taking to Twitter, Mir said the Home minister must clear his stance on the BJP’s coalition with Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.
Was Mr Omar & Mrs mufti nationalist or antinational ? When you were in coalition with them. You should clear this first Mr shah. https://t.co/fsPdquxAWh
