Union Home Minister Amit Shah's two-day visit to Kashmir is "strange" as he is coming to a place where the BJP is not contesting the polls leaving campaigning in other parts of the country, National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah said on Thursday. "Does this not feel strange to you that the Home minister is leaving election campaign and coming for two days to a place where they are not contesting elections?"

Abdullah asked reporters while talking to them in Bandipora. The NC leader said the Centre and the BJP may try to damage his party but the people of J-K are with them. "Perhaps, they know that (NC's candidate from Srinagar Lok Sabha seat) Aga Ruhullah has already won the Srinagar seat and are now making attempts to damage the National Conference, but by God's will, people are with us and I hope we will win the other two seats of Anantnag and Baramulla as well," Abdullah said. The former J-K chief minister is contesting the polls from the north Kashmir's Baramulla constituency. When asked about jailed former MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid's campaign, which is garnering a lot of support, the NC vice president said everyone has a right to campaign, which is a good thing.
