What's the story

National Conference Vice-President and former J&K CM, Omar Abdullah, today said Congress's tweet about PM Narendra Modi and incarcerated former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif was disappointing. Congress had posted a photograph of Modi and Sharif walking hand in hand on micro-blogging site Twitter and sought to know what the Prime Minister thinks of his former Pakistani counterpart, who was arrested in a corruption case.

Here's what Omar Abdullah tweeted

There are a lot of things I will be critical of PM Modi for but attempting to repair India’s relations with Pakistan is certainly not one of them. I’m not even getting in to the internal politics of Pakistan that makes this tweet even more disappointing. https://t.co/I64s7bRaCJ

Abdullah also lashed out at BJP activists

It didn’t matter when army establishments were attacked all over Jammu, soldiers kidnapped killed, Amarnath yatris tourists killed but suddenly @MehboobaMufti is enemy number one. The BJP thinks people are fools won’t punish their selective memory. https://t.co/bC3AgqpRRQ
