Lashing out at the 80,000 crore rupee package announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Jammu and Kashmir, former chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday slammed the former saying he had repeated his mistake of trying to solve the 'Kashmir issue' with money.

"PM Modi has made the same mistake of weighing the Kashmir issue in Rupees & Paise!!!! I will address a press conference at 3 PM today on behalf of @JKNC to respond to the PDP BJP rally in Srinagar," Omar tweeted.

Modi today announced an 80,000 crore rupee package for all-round development for the state, saying this was just the beginning, which will change the state's fortune, give strength to its youth and build a modern Kashmir.
