SRINAGAR: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised the R R Swain’s recent remark that regional outfits are collaborating with terror leaders for “political gains”, saying the Jammu and Kashmir police chief had made a political speech.
Abdullah also said the Centre should restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir before the assembly elections as the Union territory has failed on all fronts, including combating terrorism.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was speaking to reporters here.
