Omar asks govt: Clarify on post and duties of Dineshwar Sharma

kashmir, Jan 09: Kashmir's former chief minister Omar Abdullah asked the government to clarify Dineshwar Sharma's role and responsibilities.

Omar said that instead of tackling big problems Dineshwar is just dealing with small problems like water, electricity, hospital etc.

He said that it is the duty of chief minister to deal with such problem and not of special representative.

He asked the government to clarify if Sharma was an interlocutor or a special representative or a spokesperson as different voices were coming from the governments at the centre and in the state on the issue.

"First we don't know what is the real status of Sharma. You said he is a special representative, and in speeches and interviews he was given the status of interlocutor, but MoS in PMO (Jitendra Singh) said he is not an interlocutor but a spokesman," Omar said.
