"No Such Statement": Omar Abdullah's Party Trashes PM's Parliament Claim

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, under arrest for six months, did not say that scrapping the erstwhile state's special status would "bring an earthquake that would separate it from India", his party said on Thursday, bluntly denying a statement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in parliament.
"Mehbooba Mufti said 'India has cheated Kashmir. It seems we picked the wrong side in 1947'. Omar Abdullah had said 'Removing Article 370 would bring an earthquake that will separate Kashmir from India'. Farooq Abdullah said 'if Article 370 is removed, there will be no one in the valley to unfurl the Indian flag'. Can any person devoted to the Indian constitution ever accept this?" PM Modi said in parliament.
