Opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Jammu and Kashmir today alleged that by making strong statements on the issue of Chinese incursion in Ladakh, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was trying to provide "rhetorical cover to his stark failures".
"Omar Abdullah's war cry over India-China face off in Ladakh is yet another attempt by the chief minister to provide a rhetorical cover to his stark failures," senior PDP leader Muzaffar Hussain Baig said in a statement here.
PDP believes that the Centre has desired competence to resolve the situation along the Line of Actual Control, he said.
"You can't befool people by such sloganeering any more," Baig said.
He alleged that the failures of Omar Abdullah government are too obvious to hide under any hyperbolic stances.
Baig said it is an irony that the chief minister breaks down in the Assembly pleading helplessness when "innocents are killed by his own government", but he tries to act brave when strategic and security issues at the international level are involved.
Asking the Centre to act strong with China on the Ladakh intrusion issue, Omar said yesterday that dealing on such matters should be unambiguous and similar in case of both Pakistan and China.
