New Delhi:

After Jammu and Kashmir Assembly dissolution drama unfolded on an unexpected note, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah went a step further, raising some significant questions over BJP leader Ram Madhav's 'instruction from Pak' remarks on Thursday. Training his gun at the BJP secretary general, Abdullah asked if the Mehbooba Mufti-led party has become 'terror-friendly' after talks of the coalition with the National Conference (NC) and the Congress.

"When PDP was in alliance with BJP then it was not 'terror-friendly?' It has become 'terror-friendly' when it talked of alliance with NC and Congress?", ANI quoted Abdullah as saying.

Early in the day, Madhav stirred a political storm after he welcomed Governor Satya Pal Malik's decision to dissolve the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, saying the PDP-NC-Congress alliance is a "combination of terror-friendly parties".

On Wednesday, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was abruptly dissolved by Governor Satya Pal Malik minutes after the PDP staked claim to form a government with the backing of rival National Conference and the Congress followed by another bid from the two-member People's Conference which claimed the support of the BJP and 18 legislators from other parties.
