"He bottomlined the need to keep good relations with the Jammu leadership and told Omar that he had soured the relations which he nurtured for decades," sources informed. He also lamented that Omar could have shown pragmatism to negotiate the situation to his advantage.
Sources also divulged that Farooq told Omar that it was legitimate for an MLA to come to CM for any of his personal issues and it was not pertinent to rake up an issue out of it in public. "He also warned Omar to keep his coterie off as it was misguiding him and making him unpopular amongst the people in Valley as well as in Jammu," a source disclosed.
In an angry reaction to the onslaught of the BJP MLAs during the function, Omar had while targeting Ashok Khajuria said that he had been seeking personal favours from him and his father and never brought an issue of the interest of Jammu region.

"It was the duty of the CID wing to report to the CM that seven MLAs of the BJP were present in the audience at Jammu club that day and that they might raise the issue of power and water which were confronting the people of Jammu for the last some days," a source disclosed. |
