Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today hit out at ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders, accusing them of "converting" the death of truck conductor, Zahid Ahmad, into a public relations opportunity.
"Condoling the death, well done. Converting it in to a PR opportunity by using the State Information Dept -terrible," Mr Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
The public relations department of the state government had on Sunday issued a photograph showing PDP President Mehbooba Mufti and Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu receiving the body of Bhat at Srinagar Airport.
Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of opposition National Conference, also hit out at Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
"Mufti blames 'politics of hate' for #Zahid's death. Earlier it was 'enemies of peace'. Why can't the man call a spade a spade?" he tweeted.
