Omar questions keeping out electronic media from oath ceremony

NC leader Omar Abdullah today questioned the decision not to allow most of the electronic media organisations to cover live PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti's swearing-in as the Chief Minister, calling it an "unprecedented gag order".
"Apparently only the OB vans of DD & @ANI_news will be allowed to cover the swearing in ceremony of @mehbooba_mufti. Unprecedented gag order," Omar wrote on Twitter.
Omar said this had never happened before in the state.
"This has never happened before & certainly wasn't the case in 2009 or 2015. Can't fathom why #BJPDP media managers have done this?" he added.
Mehbooba took oath as the first woman chief minister of the state at Raj Bhawan in Jammu today.
