Abdullah drew BJP's ire with his remarks on Sunday that those who vote for Modi should “drown” in the sea and also threatened that Kashmir will not remain with India if the country becomes communal.
In Delhi, BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman also attacked Abdullah for his comments.
“Very clearly, Dr Abdullah first answer as to why in J&K the Constitutional Amendment which was made in India during Emergency making India into a secular republic, is not acceptable to him there,” Sitharaman said.
She asked him why the National Conference, of which he is president, has not worked to make that amendment into the J&K Constitution till today.
“If that is not done, I think he should refrain from talking about communalism.
They have not even taken a step to take back the Kashmiri Pandits, who have been cleansed out of the Valley, back into the Valley,” she said.
