New Delhi: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Saturday said the ordinance by the Centre on transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi was a travesty and against the spirit of cooperative federalism. Abdullah, however, said it was a shame that the AAP did not realise the danger when it sided withe the BJP in August 2019, when the Centre ended Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370. "What has been done to Delhi is a travesty and goes against the spirit of cooperative federalism. That said Raghav, it's a shame the AAP didn't realise the danger of its actions when it happily sided with the BJP in Aug 2019.
