Srinagar: National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday entered into a war of words on twitter after the former alleged that PDP has assured support to both Congress and BJP in the upcoming polls for the post of Deputy Chairman in Rajya Sabha.
“@MehboobaMufti has told the Congress she will support the UPA candidate for #RajyaSabha Vice Chairman. She’s also told the BJP she will support the NDA candidate. How does that work exactly?” Mr Abdullah, who is the former chief minister of the state, wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
However, Ms Mehbooba, who is also a former chief minister of the state, was quick to respond to the allegation, claiming that Mr Abdullah was fabricating stories based on pure fiction.
“…baffling when a politician like @OmarAbdullah fabricates stories based on pure fiction. Such dangerous propaganda is detrimental to the truth & an attempt to mislead people,” she wrote on twitter.
Ms Mehbooba also twitted an emoji with a long nose to which Mr Abdullah alleged that the PDP chief’s account was being handled by someone else. “…hats off to whoever operates your account for you. They actually have a sense of humour. Nice emoji use,” the NC vice president said.
“Again fake news! Give a compliment where its due Omar,” Ms Mehbooba replied.
