Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Friday criticised Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for taking too long to clearly condemn Israel’s attack on Iran.
Omar on Friday while speaking in the Legislative Assembly, strongly condemned what he described as an “unjust and illegal war imposed on Iran” and expressed condolences for all those who have lost their lives in the conflict, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and including his associates.
Mehbooba said it was disheartening to see that the only CM of India’s only Muslim majority state took an entire month to unequivocally condemn Israel’s dastardly attack.
“How disheartening that it took our Chief Minister the only Muslim CM of India’s only Muslim majority state an entire month to unequivocally condemn Israel’s dastardly attack on Iran,” she said on X.
“Even the Punjab assembly acted swiftly becoming the first to pass a resolution to condemn and show its solidarity with Iran. Yet the J&K government showed no such urgency or genuine concern choosing to limit its responses to mere rhetoric and speeches instead of a clear and principled stand,” she added.
