‘Kashmir model exported to Delhi’: Omar Abdullah’s dig at curbs ahead of CJP protest

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah critiqued the stringent security measures in New Delhi ahead of a protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party. He pointed out that the "Kashmir model" has been implemented in the capital, referring to the history of internet shutdowns in the region. Omar expressed his concern over the fairness of the upcoming elections, stating that if elections are not conducted fairly, then how can a country claim to be democratic?

He also demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, asserting that deletions from the voter lists were being made to favor the BJP. Omar further accused the BJP of manipulating the EC's actions, suggesting that the party speaks for the commission. He highlighted the case of the delimitation in J&K, alleging that the exercise was designed to benefit the BJP and that seven seats were added, six of which were won by the BJP.
