Howrah, West Bengal: Jammu and Kashmir leader Omar Abdullah met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday at Nabanna, in Howrah.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Omar Abdullah said their relationship goes back a long way, and he visited her to express gratitude to "Mamata Didi" for being a well-wisher of Jammu and Kashmir.
“I just had a great meeting with Mamata Didi. Our relationship goes back a long way to when we were both in Parliament. I came to thank her because she has always shown sympathy toward Jammu and Kashmir and its people,” said Omar Abdullah.
“When we were going through a tough phase in 2019, Didi was the first to express her concern and say that what was happening was wrong. Recently, in April, after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, Didi sent a team to Poonch, Rajouri, and other areas affected by cross-border shelling to express condolences,” he added.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, speaking to the media, said she had accepted her counterpart’s invitation to visit Jammu and Kashmir.
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir are like our brothers and sisters. I have been invited to visit Jammu and Kashmir, and I have accepted the invitation. I will try to visit after Durga Puja. I am ready to provide all possible assistance to Jammu and Kashmir, and I urge tourists from West Bengal to visit the region,” she said.
Tourism in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir was recently disturbed following the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives and temporarily brought the tourism sector to a halt.
However, despite the attack, tourists continued to visit what many call “the paradise on Earth.”
