MP Mian Altaf should have come behind closed doors with his ‘advice’, not through media: CM Omar Abdullah

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 27 (STC): Reacting to the statement of Member of Parliament Mian Altaf advising Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to “introspect and focus in governance rather than rhetoric, Jqmmu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he should have told the same thing behind closed doors instead of going to media.
Addressing a press conference in Srinagar, the Chief Minister said, “I told him (Mian Altaf), whenever anyone wants to talk to me, leave the media aside and come to me directly. We can talk behind closed doors, no one else needs to know.”
On being asked about MP Agha Ruhullah, Omar interrupted and refused to comment. “I will not talk about him,” he said. “Whom people are you bringing on a platform? Where is Mian Altaf and where is he? There is a difference between the earth and the sky.”
The CM said he treats Mian Altaf with deep respect and considers him a senior colleague whose advice he values immensely. “My father always tells me to think before I speak and so does Mian Altaf. In that sense, there is no difference between my father and Mian Sahib. I see him the same way,” Omar said.
