Omar Abdullah's Position During Amit Shah's J&K Visit Sparks Controversy
During a recent visit by Amit Shah to Jammu and Kashmir, photos showed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the background.
This has caused a stir.
Critics feel Abdullah was treated disrespectfully and that his government is too friendly with the central government.
Others, like the NC, say the photos don't tell the whole story.
The L-G's presence at a BJP meeting has also raised questions of bias.
Essentially, people are debating whether Abdullah is being treated fairly and whether the J&K government is getting a fair deal from the center.
Photographs showed J&K CM Omar Abdullah seemingly sidelined during Amit Shah's visit.
Critics viewed this as a sign of the Abdullah government's perceived deference to the Centre.
PDP and AAP leaders criticized the protocol extended to the CM.
NC defended the situation, stating the CM was accorded proper protocol in meetings.
