'Not a threat we expect': Omar Abdullah tells 'friend' DMK over leader's 'go to Kashmir' remark
DMK's Shivaji Krishnamoorthy made the comment on Friday while targeting Tamil Nadu governor RN Ravi.
‘Can go to Kashmir’ is a statement that was not expected from the DMK, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said on Saturday, a day after DMK leader Shivaji Krishnamoorthy made the remark for Tamil Nadu governor RN Ravi, who has been locked in a war of words with the party-led state government.

Taking to Twitter, Abdullah described Krishnamoorthy's statement as a ‘threat’ and the Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin-led party as ‘friends.’
“'Can go to Kashmir' is not a threat we expect from our friends in the DMK,” tweeted the National Conference vice president, who was among several non-BJP leaders to attend the release of Stalin's autobiography in February last year, in Chennai.
Krishnamoorthy, meanwhile, made the remark for governor Ravi while addressing a gathering on Friday.
"If you (Ravi) do not read read out the speech given by the Tamil Nadu government, then go to Kashmir, and we will send terrorists so that they'll gun you down," he remarked.
