Srinagar: NC leader Omar Abdullah today alleged that Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had diverted the attention of the people from the “hollow” common minimum programme his government by raking up Pakistan and Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru. He's got everyone talking about Pakistan & Afzal Guru where we should be talking about the hollow CMP released,” Omar wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.com. Omar said the demand of PDP MLAs for return of mortal remains of Guru was a “cynical attempt” to buy vote of independent MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid for Legislative Council elections in the state. “@jkpdp rediscovered love for Afzal Guru's remains is nothing but a cynical attempt to buy Engineer Rashid's crucial vote for MLC election,” Omar said.
