At a rally in north Kashmir’s Pattan town, the former J&K chief minister said the demand about Prime Minister and sadr-e-riyasat was nothing new. He said that a host of BJP leaders have been attacking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. “Modi sahib, you should read the history of this country and what were the circumstances under which J&K became a part of India. The demand for PM and sadr-e-riyasat for J&K is not new. We want to restore conditions of accession of J&K with India.’’Omar’s pitch for wazir-e-azam had angered Prime Minister Narendra Modi who dismissed the demand, tweeting that as long as he was alive, no one can divide India.
