In a scathing rebuttal of Narendra Modi's charge, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the exodus of Pandits from Kashmir took place under Jagmohan, who was appointed governor by the central government which was supported by BJP.

He said Modi's statement on the issue was an insult to Kashmiri people. "When Kashmiri Pandits left the Valley, Jagmohan, who has not parted ways with the BJP yet, as far as I know, was ruling the state (as the governor). Farooq Sahib was not in power."

"Jagmohan was appointed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (now PDP patron), who was the home minister in V P Singh cabinet. V P Singh was heading the government with BJP support.... I hope they (BJP leaders) remember this," he told reporters.
