"Rahul Gandhi really got under PM Modi's skin," says Omar Abdullah. Here's why

After doing political commentary on the upheavals in the Parliament the day the no-confidence motion was admitted, former Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister and JKNC leader Omar Abdullah has now taken a swipe at the media coverage of Rahul Gandhi’s hug to PM Modi.

While quoting a news report, Omar Abdullah tweeted out a sarcastic tweet, saying “Looks like Rahul really got under the Hon PM’s skin yesterday. Ordinarily 24 hours later we would have moved on to talking about things that really matter to the country. #RahulHugsPM.”

On Friday, Rahul Gandhi stunned everyone as he went and hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi after delivering a speech on no-confidence motion while slamming the government. He was later spotted winking inside the Parliament. Reacting on the hug and the wink, Omar Abdullah took to Twitter and wrote, “It’s going to be one of those days. We had the hug & now the wink seems to have stolen a march on the hug. I’m almost afraid to ask what’s next.”

He also took a swipe at a journalist who called Rahul Gandhi’s gesture unparliamentary.
