Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah today hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for talking about Yoga at a time when an encounter with terrorists was raging on at Pathankot Air Base.
"Business as usual is all well and good but a speech about Yoga while an encounter rages at an Air Base in #Pathankot seems totally out of sync," Mr Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
He was referring to the Prime Minister's address at a Yoga conference in Karnataka.
He also criticised the authorities in Punjab for not making emergency evacuation arrangements for injured soldiers at the scene of deadly suicide attack in Pathankot.
"Really? A 24 hour long operation and we don't have any critical care ambulances for our brave soldiers?" he said.
He was responding to reports that an injured NSG jawan was rushed to a hospital in a car.
He also expressed condolences over the death of security force personnel in the Pathankot attack.
"Sorry to hear about the deaths of our brave security force personnel in the #PathankotAttack. Prayers for the deceased & their families. RIP," he said.
