CM Omar Jabs BJP 'Honoured to Receive Their Love Letter'

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said he feels honoured to have received a "love letter" in the form of a legal notice from the BJP as it proves that he is a political force they cannot ignore. 

The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP on Monday served a legal notice to Abdullah over his claim that the national party had attempted to bribe National Conference legislators with cash and ministerial berths in a bid to topple his government.

"I have received a letter from a lawyer, an electronic copy. I consider this



a great honour as I am the only politician in Jammu and Kashmir to have been bestowed with a love letter like this by the BJP.

I consider it a mark of respect that I am obviously a political force in Jammu and Kashmir that they cannot ignore," Abdullah told reporters at the National Conference (NC) headquarters here. 

The chief minister was responding to a question about the BJP's legal notice to him, threatening a Rs 100 crore defamation suit if he fails to prove the allegations of MLA poaching or issue a public apology.
