National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Wednesday attended the nomination rally of the National Conference's candidate Nasir Aslam Wani.

On attending the rally, Abdullah said that it was a good start and was a good sign that people were joining the rally of the National Conference.

"This is a good start. We are happy that the people are joining the rally of the National Conference. There is competition and parties are ready to defeat the National Conference. We are praying that we win," he said.

Further, he spoke on the interim bail granted to Rashid Engineer, he said that the bail was given for 20 days only for the elections.

Speaking to the media, he said, "The bail has been given to him only for 20 days for the elections. The people were told to cast votes for Rashid to let him out of jail. He has only been given bail so that the votes can be achieved. In one way, the Baramulla people have used their votes," he added.

Further, he said that the BJP always talks in different ways.

"I do not understand how the BJP always talks in different ways. When Arvind Kejriwal was given bail, that time as well, they created a ruckus. There is something wrong here. If people use their votes in a sentiment and emotional manner, then I am sure the BJP will win with their tricks. If they use their brain, I will win."

"I hope the voters use their votes wisely and the best wins. We will see what happens on October 8," he added.

On September 10, Omar Abdullah said that the bail granted to MP Rashid Engineer in the terror funding case was a political manoeuvre to garner votes rather than serve the voters who elected him to Parliament.

Omar Abdullah said, "I knew this would happen some time or the other. I feel sorry for the people of Baramulla because he has not been granted bail for the welfare of the people of Baramulla or attend Parliament. He has been granted bail just to contest elections and fetch votes after which he will be sent back to Tihar Jail. People of North Kashmir will again be unrepresented."

Notably, the interim bail has been granted till October 2, 2024, by the court, which directed him to surrender on October 3 before the concerned jail. By the order, the court allowed him to campaign for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections.

Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls will be held in three phases on September 18, 25, and October 1. The counting will be done on October 8. There are a total number of 90 assembly constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir, out of which 7 seats are reserved for SCs and 9 seats are reserved for STs. (ANI)
