Omar brought NIA to J&K, says Akbar Lone
4/10/2019 11:20:18 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Apr 10: National Conference candidate for Baramulla parliamentary constituency- Akbar Lone has put Omar Abdullah in serious trouble by admitting that it was NC's vice president who brought National Investigating Agency to Kashmir.
It's in place to mention here that Omar during his election campaign has been blaming his bete-noire PDP for bringing NIA into the state.
A short video clip of Akbar Lone giving interview to a New Delhi based news channel has gone viral with Lone terming NIA as an organisation that investigates and probes what is right and what is wrong. He is seen admitting in open that it was Omar Abdullah who as a Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir gave clearance to NIA.
His revelation has taken social media in Kashmir by a storm with people questioning the duplicity of NC.
As north Kashmir goes to polls on April 11 (Thursday), the observers say that Lone's statement won't help NC. "This is quite unfortunate that such a statement was given by Lone sahib. He is our senior leader and we believe that people will take his views quite seriously. We can only hope he takes his words back and make people understand that what was shown in the video isn't what he meant to say," said a senior NC leader based in Srinagar.
Meanwhile, erratic and controversial statements have become Akbar Lone's best friends. He was earlier seen in the video seeking help from the militants so that he could win the polls. "I know Omar and Dr Farooq would be angry, but I want to tell you 'tik tik' wala (terrorists), I am talking about you today, when I'm nothing. Tomorrow when I will win, I will talk about you and your cause more - what has happened to you? Why will you go to my workers' place? Why will you harass him? Then he won't vote for me, which means sending BJP candidate to parliament, one who is against your Kashmir cause," Lone had said in one of his rallies.
Earlier, on March 17, when an election rally of the NC was being held in north Kashmir Akbar Lone took a dig at the Prime Minister to grab the headlines.
On March 23, this erratic NC leader already known for his bizarre, unfounded and unnatural statements and comments threw all ethics to wind when he declared in a public rally that he wasn't ashamed of lauding Pakistan. " Wo musalmaan mulk hai, wo abaad rahay, hamari aur unki dosti baday, uss dosti ka mai ashiq hun…Agar unko koi aik gali dega mai unko yahan se dass galiyan dunga," Lone said in his address.
"By saying that Modi can break the back bone of militancy means that they treat all Kashmiri as militants, and they can do anything for that, even they kill civilians during encounters. Govt. doesn't care about people of Kashmir which Modi proves by his statement about militancy. They can do that but they also kill civilians which people have seen in 2018," he said in another lecture.
