Honoured to receive BJP ‘love letter’ as ₹100 cr legal notice: Omar Abdullah amid 'MLA poaching' row
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has responded to a 100 crore rupee legal notice issued by the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The notice follows Abdullah's allegations that the BJP attempted to bribe his party's legislators to destabilize the government.
The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formally served a legal notice to Omar Abdullah on Monday. The legal action stems from public claims made by Abdullah suggesting that the national party offered cash and ministerial positions to National Conference MLAs in an effort to secure their support.
Responding to the legal challenge, Abdullah characterized the notice as a "love letter" from the BJP, expressing that he felt honored by the development. He has consistently maintained that these alleged poaching attempts were part of a broader strategy to topple his administration through improper influence.
The BJP has dismissed the allegations as baseless and defamatory, prompting the demand for a formal retraction or substantial damages. The escalating legal row underscores the heightened political tension between the two major parties in the region following recent legislative developments. Source: The Economic Times.
