Dont gauge Kashmir issue with Money Omar

Former Jammu and Kashmir State Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is unhappy for the huge financial package granted to the state by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. Prime Minister Modi announced Rs. 80, 000 crore financial package to the state during a public meeting held at Srinagar by BJP and PDP, who are alliance partners in the state government. Obviously, the PDP, BJP coalition government lead by Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayyeed and the people of the state are also very happy for this unprecedented Diwali Gift given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is not.

He said “Modi is trying to gauge the Kashmir issue with money. He is also repeating the same mistake again.” Omar Abdullah may want to say that instead of bargaining on the Kashmir issue with financial packages, resolve it by negotiating with Pakistan Government, which is demanding India to give up its sovereign rights on Kashmir.
