Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said there was no question of stopping BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi from holding a rally in Srinagar if he desires so.
“Where is the question of not allowing (Modi inSrinagar)?” he asked, responding to questions on whether the BJP leader will be allowed in Srinagar.
“Please come! If you (BJP) have a party unit here and want to address 500 people, you can come. No one is stopping them (BJP) from holding political activity,” he said.
“We don't (even) stop separatists from political activities. There is no question of stopping Modi,” he said.
The Chief Minister clarified that BJP leaders were stopped from entering the state earlier this year because there was apprehension that the situation would further deteriorate in the aftermath of Kishtwar riots.
