Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said the Election Commission should clarify its stand on reports that the US spent USD 21 million for “voter turnout in India”. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here, he vehemently opposed foreign interference in the country’s democratic exercise. “It (foreign interference) should not happen. So far, there is no proof of foreign interference… the Election Commission has to clarify whether foreign interference had taken place in our elections because to date we are of the belief that our elections were conducted in a free and fair manner,” Abdullah said
