While the Jammu and Kashmir government maintains it has no proposal to establish a separate Sainik Colony in Jammu and Kashmir for ex-soldiers, opposition National Conference working president on Sunday displayed an order of the state home department proposing establishing of a Sainik Colony in Srinagar.

The order copy tweeted by the NC working president talks about allotment of 350 kanals (about 18 hectares) to Sainik Colony in Srinagar. The Jammu and Kashmir Home Department, headed by chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on April 11 had sought status of allocation of land for Sainik Colony in Srinagar, summer capital of the state.


"Revised proposal sent to Home Department". The Home Department is headed by @mehbooba_mufti so who is lying here?," NC leader Omar Abdullah tweeted.

The former J-K CM challenges Mehbooba Mufti to file a case against him. "If you haven't filed a case against me in the next 24 hours the people will know who is lying in this matter @mehbooba_mufti. Truth prevails.
@mehbooba_mufti you have accused me of "rumour mongering & uploading fake images of Govt orders on SM". I dare you to file a case TODAY!!! If you have the guts & truly believe this image is fake file a case against me in the nearest police station TODAY!!"
