New Delhi: Reacting strongly to senior BJP leader Giriraj Singh`s remark that critics and opponents of Narendra Modi are "pro-Pakistan", Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said he will not stop opposing the BJP`s prime ministerial candidate. Addressing an election rally in Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency, Omar said: "Today we are getting threat after threat. Thanks to Allah, We have Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service. So, I would not need to go to Delhi or Amritsar to cross Wagah border (into Pakistan)...I will get a (bus) ticket from here to Muzaffarabad and cross into Pakistan because I will not stop opposing Modi.” The rally was also addressed by Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Pradesh Congress Committee president Saif-ud-Din Soz. The Election Commission has ordered the Patna district administration to lodge an FIR against Giriraj Singh. A case for making an inflammatory speech was registered on Sunday against Griraj Singh in Jharkhand where he repeated his remarks at an election meeting. After calling those against Modi "pro-Pakistan" elements, Singh had said: "Those opposing Narendra Modi are looking at Pakistan, and such people will have place in Pakistan and not in India."
