Will Engineer Rashid back BJP if need arises after JK polls: Omar Abdullah
SRINAGAR, Sep 13 (PTI): National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Friday asked Baramulla’s Lok Sabha MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid to clarify whether his party would support the BJP if the saffron party needs it after the Jammu and Kashmir elections.
The Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) supremo, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, was behind bars in Delhi’s Tihar Jail and was released on interim bail on Wednesday to campaign for the assembly elections.
“Yesterday, at a seminar, when Rashid was asked whether he would support the BJP after the election, he remained silent. Why does he not say categorically that he will not support the BJP in any manner after the elections,” Abdullah told reporters in Devsar area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district after an election rally.
