Mehbooba invites Omar for swearing-in
Srinagar, Apr 03, 2016, DHNS
PDP chief and Chief Minister-designate Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday called up Opposition National Conference leader Omar Abdullah to invite him for the swearing-in ceremony scheduled on Monday.
“Very gracious of Mehbooba Mufti Sahiba to phone & invite me to her oath taking ceremony. I look forward to being there on the 4th,” the former chief minister Omar tweeted.
Mehbooba is scheduled to be sworn-in as the first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir on April 4 in Jammu where Union Ministers Venkaiah Naidu and Jitendra Singh are also scheduled to be present.
When Mehbooba’s father late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed took oath as chief minister last year in March, both the National Conference (NC) and the Congress including Omar had stayed away from the swearing in function.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national president Amit Shah, BJP veterans Lal Krishan Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar were among various dignitaries who attended late Mufti’s swearing in function.
However, this time around, the swearing-in ceremony of the PDP-BJP coalition government in J&K is likely to be a low-key affair.
