Srinagar, Nov 21: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday praised New Delhi and Maharashtra Government for what he said, successfully keeping the Ajmal Kasab’s hanging under wraps, and said both the governments have shown that “we can still keep a secret if we need to.”
“Gotta hand it to the Governments at the Centre and in Mumbai for the mature way they handled this. Shows we can still keep a secret if we need to,” Omar Abdullah commented on the micro blogging site twitter.
The Chief Minster also took a jibe at the news channels regarding their claims of breaking the news. "Now we'll watch all the channels line up to claim that they were the ones to break the news of the hanging.” Omar tweeted.
He also questioned the American Media for describing Ajmal Kasab as ‘gunman’. "So Hamas are terrorists but Kasab was a gunman. Well done American media you really call it like it is," Omar said sarcastically.
