Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday alleged that the Narendra Modi government has not been able to change anything in Jammu and Kashmir as the Union Territory continues to be the target of United States state department travel advisories.
Omar was reacting to a report of State department of the US government, which has urged Americans in India to ‘avoid’ travelling to some parts of the country which include the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
“In asking US citizens not to visit Jammu and Kashmir, the advisory points to ‘terrorist attacks’ and ‘violent civil unrest,’ as well as ‘sporadic violence’ between the Indian and Pakistani forces along the Line of Control (LoC),” Omar said in a post on X while quoting the advisory report.
The former Chief Minister taunted the Modi government over this US advisory despite his government talk of normalcy, peace, tourism and hosting the G-20 meeting.
“So much for ‘naya J&K’. For all the talk of normalcy, peace, tourism & the G-20 tamasha in Srinagar, J&K continues to be the target of US state department travel advisories. The Modi government has been able to change nothing,” the NC Vice President said.
