(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- Omar Abdullah, along with journalist Nidhi Razdan, hosted a formal al fresco lunch at Kashmir House in New Delhi on Sunday. The couple has frequently made headlines, but this was their first formal event together since his election as Chief Minister.
However, the event drew criticism from Iltija Mufti, daughter of former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and a PDP leader, who alleged being detained in Jammu to prevent a scheduled press conference.

“Detained at Circuit House Jammu now. All this because @JmuKmrPolice wanted me to cancel my press conference scheduled for 4 pm. This is Naya Kashmir and the true face of it. The elected government is too busy hosting a lunch in Delhi to care about victims of human rights violations,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Observers interpret her remarks as a pointed attack on the National Conference, implying that the party is prioritizing social gatherings over critical issues affecting Jammu and Kashmir.
Some netizens also joined the criticism. Muhammad Muqaddas, an X user, commented:“Recently, Omar Abdullah said J&K's treasury is empty. A few weeks ago, Omar Sahab and Nidhi Ji hosted a lunch for journalists in Delhi, and now they are hosting another al fresco lunch. Has the J&K House become a venue for private gatherings?”
