JAMMU , OCTOBER ,19:
Today Omar Abdullah also reached out to the media fraternity stating that no iron-fist policy will be adopted for the media in J&K. “I will not punish you for writing against me. I will ensure the media remains free and works in a free and fearless atmosphere. I am aware that many journalists were not given accreditation and press cards. I will gradually resolve this discrepancy,” he said.
He urged media men to highlight wherever the government commits any mistake but at the same high also highlight the good work of the NC government.
Omar said when he lost Lok Sabha polls, he felt as if it was difficult for him to rise again. “But nature has its own principles. Many officers and friends would have thought about me that Khatam, Maklou, it’s over (for Omar). But today, the same people greet me in the morning, afternoon and evenings. Many ask me whether I had lunch. Many now text me, good night have a nice sleep…This is Almighty’s way of doing things,” Omar said. “But we should not feel proud of winning polls. The way people have given us the opportunity they can tomorrow punish us as well.”
