SRINAGAR: Reacting to the speech by the former chief minister of J&K Omar Abdullah that Kashmir will have its own PM for the state, the cricketer turned Bharatiya Janata Party politician Gautam Gambhir said that Omar needs some sleep and if he still doesn’t understand then give him a Pakistani passport. “Omar Abdullah wants a separate PM for J&K & I want to walk on oceans! Omar Abdullah wants a separate PM for J&K & I want pigs to fly! More than a separate PM @OmarAbdullah needs some sleep followed by a strong coffee! If he still doesn’t understand then a green Pakistani passport,” Gautam Tweeted.
In a reply to Gautam Omar suggested the cricketer to not to interfere in such stuff what he doesn’t know about, particularly Kashmir. Omar also asked the recently turned politician to tweet about IPL rather than indulging in Kashmir issue. “Gautam,I never played much cricket because I knew I wasn’t very good at it. You don’t know very much about J&K, it’s history or the role of @jknc_ in shaping that history yet you insist on displaying that ignorance for all to see. Stick to stuff you know about, tweet about the IPL,” Omar tweeted.
Earlier, in a response to speech by PM Modi after a video clip of Omar was shared, Omar- who is also a National Conference vice president said; “It’s not what JKNC_ wants sir, it’s what the terms of accession guaranteed J&K, it’s what the Constitution of India (the same Constitution you take an oath to uphold) guaranteed J&K. All we ask is what the Constitution gave to J&K.”
