Omar working overtime to break PAGD? Advises his father not to annoy GoI, concentrate more on party affairs 1/27/2021 1:24:44 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 25: The cracks within the Peoples Allinace for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) have become wide and open as speculations are rife that National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah is “working overtime” to break the alliance. According to the sources Omar Abdullah has asked his father Farooq Abdullah to concentrate more on the party at the ground level rather than focussing on PAGD. It seems that senior Abdullah has taken his son’s advice seriously as the NC a few days back came out with a statement that it will soon start a programme to galvanize its party cadre across Jammu and Kashmir. It’s in place to mention here that the rumblings within the PAGD started with the distribution of tickets among the different units of this amalgam when problems surfaced in PC, PDP and other groups as the NC grabbed lion’s share.
