Modi and Omar clash over womens rights in J-K

Narendra Modi and Omar Abdullah today crossed swords on the issue of equal rights for women in Jammu and Kashmir with the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate alleging discrimination and the Chief Minister hitting back saying he is either "ill-informed or lying".
Modi also dragged the name of Omar's sister Sara into the gender bias row to suggest they do not enjoy the same rights.
"Sara should get the same rights enjoyed by Omar Abdullah in the state," he said. Sara is married to Union Minister Sachin Pilot who hails from Rajasthan.
Modi cited the example of Omar and his sister Sara's marriage outside the state to suggest that women did not have the same rights as men in J-K unlike in other parts of the country.

"If Omar (Abdullah) married outside Kashmir, his rights of being a citizen remain whereas his sister Sara loses the right for the same because she has married outside Kashmir and her all rights have been snatched. Is this not discrimination against the women in the state?," he asked, while referring to the Chief Minister's family.
Modi posed a question to the public whether there is discrimination against women in J and K for which the anwser came in loud voice "yes". Has Sara got rights? he further questions and people say "no".

Omar came out with a series of tweets after Modi raked up the issue of rights for women in the context of Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to J and K.

"He (Modi) very conveniently used me and my sister as examples to illustrate a point that has no bearing on truth. Either he lies or is ill informed," Omar tweeted.
"And finally women do not lose their domicile right by marrying non-state subjects regardless of the propaganda surrounding this issue," he said.
He wondered if Modi was actually aware of the provisions of Article 370.
"I challenge him or any of his minions to reproduce verbatim the section of Art 370 that determines the J&K state subject law," Omar said.
The National Conference leader also said that Modi was either very badly informed or very economical with the truth.

"I'm not sure which one is worse though," he said.
