New Delhi: Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who recently joined the BJP, on Tuesday suggested National Conference leader Omar Abdullah should shift to Pakistan over his remarks that his party would strive to restore Jammu and Kashmir's autonomy that could include having a 'Wazir-e-Azam' (prime minister).
@OmarAbdullah wants a separate PM for J&K & I want to walk on oceans! @OmarAbdullah wants a separate PM for J&K & I want pigs to fly! More than a separate PM @OmarAbdullah needs some sleep followed by a strong coffee! If he still doesn’t understand then a green Pakistani passport

Reacting sharply to Gambhir's comments, the National Conference (NC) leader said the former opening batsman of the Indian team should only talk about cricket, which is the thing he knows. He said the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister needs "some sleep and a strong coffee" and if he still fails to understand then he needs "a green Pakistan passport."
Hitting back, Abdullah in a tweet said, "Gautam, I never played much cricket because I knew I wasn't very good at it. You don't know very much about Jammu and Kashmir, its history or the role of National Conference in shaping that history, yet you insist on displaying that ignorance for all to see."
Gautam,I never played much cricket because I knew I wasn’t very good at it. You don’t know very much about J&K,it’s history or the role of @jknc_ in shaping that history yet you insist on displaying that ignorance for all to see. Stick to stuff you know about, tweet about the IPL https://t.co/2ZSHJclWkt

He said that Gambhir should stick to the things he knows and tweet about the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Addressing a public meeting on Monday at Bandipora in North Kashmir, the former chief minister said Jammu and Kashmir's accession to the Union of India was accomplished in lieu of various constitutional safeguards for the state and if these are tampered with, the entire scheme of accession will be under question.
He also said that his party will work towards getting back the coveted posts of 'Sadr-e-Riyasat' (president) and 'Wazir-e-Azam' (prime minister) for Jammu and Kashmir.
