Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Tuesday accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of deliberately diverting public attention from core issues and indulging in what he termed as “double speaking” on major developmental commitments in Jammu and Kashmir.
Inam Un Nabi said Omar Abdullah should remember that it was MP Er Rashid who staged a 72-hour hunger strike in front of the Civil Secretariat demanding IIT and IIM for Kashmir, without ever opposing the rights of Jammu. “Er Rashid has always believed J&K is like two eyes, one Kashmir and the other Jammu. He demanded institutions for Kashmir while respecting Jammu’s aspirations equally,” he said.
Reacting strongly to Lal Sharma’s discrimination remarks, Inam Un Nabi raised the issue of delimitation, asking Shri Lal Sharma to answer what Kashmir received when Jammu was given additional representation. “If delimitation gave six seats to Jammu, what did Kashmir get in return? People deserve honest answers, not selective narratives,” Inam said.

Taking strong exception to Omar Abdullah’s contradictory statements, Inam Un Nabi said the Chief Minister announced in the Assembly that a National Law University (NLU) would be established in Budgam, but later told people in Jammu that the location for the NLU is yet to be decided. “This is a clear case of double talk. Either the CM is misleading the Assembly or misleading the public. Both are unacceptable,” he asserted. Inam further said the NLU debate is being pushed as a diversion from the SMVDMIE issue, where the institution was allegedly derecognized in a manner that appears aimed at blocking admissions of a particular community students, calling it a serious and shameful matter that cannot be brushed aside through political messaging.
