Srinagar, April 28: Omar Abdullah, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and a vice president of the National Conference, has slammed the Centre, saying, ‘only Muslims are being targeted in this country for political gains and creating hate against the religion.’
While interacting with the reporters on the sidelines of the youth convention of the National Conference at Party headquarters in Srinagar, he said “We’ve been told not to use loudspeakers in the mosque, not to sell Hallal meat, not to wear Hijab, and so on. When Muslims don’t object to other people’s religions or lifestyles, why are just Muslims being targeted in the country.”
In reaction to a school in Baramulla issuing a hijab order, Omar Abdullah said. As in Karnataka, the NC leader claimed that now these people (referring to the BJP) want to stir up unrest in Jammu and Kashmir for political advantage.
Omar further chastised the national media for its skewed reporting on news concerning Muslim homes being razed by governments in BJP-ruled areas. In addition, National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah advised that the PAGD and the National Conference jointly contest the forthcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir to keep the BJP and its A&B teams at bay.
How do you think we feel when houses of Muslims are demolished by bulldozers and TV anchors say "there will be a shortage of bulldozers soon, we will have to import more of them"…?

“This is my opinion. If someone asks me, I suggest PAGD should go together in the polls ahead to keep BJP and its A & B teams away,” he further added.
