In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K), National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah has criticized Bharatiya Janata Party  for the unilateral decisions of August 5, 2019, pointing out that all the projected promises deflated and the ground situation belied the claims of the Narendra Modi led Indian government. 

Addressing a public meeting in Doda district of Jammu region, he said that the soaring unemployment rate, high inflation, and administrative inertia proved the claims of the Government of India hollow.
