Srinagar (PTI): Omar Abdullah was on Thursday unanimously elected as the leader of the National Conference legislature party, party president Farooq Abdullah said here.

"A meeting of the legislature party was held where everyone unanimously chose Omar Abdullah as its leader," the senior Abdullah said.

He said a meeting of the pre-poll alliance partners would be held on Friday to take the process of government formation further.

Earlier, all the newly elected MLAs of the National Conference (NC) met at party headquarters Nawa-i-Subah to elect their leader, who is most likely to be the chief minister as well, in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly.

The NC has emerged as the single largest party in the assembly polls with 42 seats and has a comfortable majority in the 95-member House as its alliance partners Congress and CPI(M) have won six seats and one seat respectively.

The meeting was convened by party president and Omar's father Farooq Abdullah.

Baghpat (UP), Nov 14: BJP MLA Nand Kishor Gurjar has urged Hindus to avoid paying obeisance at 'dargah' and recommended checking "suspicious" people entering temples.

A video clip of Gurjar purportedly making the remark has been circulated widely on social media.

Speaking to reporters in Chhaprauli on the sidelines of a programme on Wednesday night, the legislator from Ghaziabad's Loni constituency said, "Hindus should not go to 'dargahs'. Jihadis who oppressed women are buried there".

"They are buried there, their bodies decaying with worms. It's unfortunate if anyone is bowing their heads there," he said.

Gurjar also claimed that people in Arab countries worship Lord Shiva and said that even "Maulvis will one day perform Lord Mahadev's rituals."

Moreover, the MLA recommended checking "suspicious" individuals entering temples.
