Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today questioned the "silence" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over ceasefire violations by Pakistan which claimed six lives, terming it as "hurtful".
"6 inc.(including) a woman & 12 yr (year) old boy are dead sir. They're part of your #TeamIndia. As captain of the team your silence is hurtful sir @PMOIndia," Mr Abdullah wrote on social microblogging site Twitter.
The working president of the opposition National Conference (NC) earlier said he was "sorry" to see that the Prime Minister could not tweet a condolence message after people were killed in the shelling.
"So sorry to see that my PM, who remembers to tweet for every obscure birthday & National Day can't tweet a condolence for the dead today," he said.
In another tweet, Mr Abdullah said his father Mr Farooq Abdullah was the only senior political leader to visit the areas near the Line of Control in Poonch.
"So far my father is the only senior person to visit this area in Poonch to boost morale. High time Ministers of Center & State visit now," he said.
Mr Abdullah also lashed out at Minister of state in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh, saying he was "heaping insult on injury".
"Someone please get him to keep quiet. He's heaping insult on injury now," Mr Abdullah tweeted after Mr Singh reportedly said that "people living along borders now feel much more secure than ever before".
