Veteran Congress leader Karan Singh criticized Omar Abdullah for contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Baramulla, rather than Srinagar, a stronghold of the National Conference. Singh pointed out that Abdullah would have been invaluable in Parliament, had he won.
Singh described Engineer Rashid's victory from Baramulla as 'dramatic,' considering he contested the elections while imprisoned under the UAPA.
Speaking on Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, Singh urged for the restoration of its status and called for immediate assembly elections.
