The opposition leader, had hit out at the chief minister yesterday for terming the situation in Kashmir peaceful.
“There is something disconcerting about the CM claiming this just days after her minister survived an attack that killed 3 people!,” Omar had tweeted.
He was reacting to a news report which quoted Mehbooba saying that the situation in Kashmir was peaceful and it was the media which was creating negative perception about the Valley.
