National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Monday said the strings of alliance between Lok Sabha member Sheikh Abdul Rashid’s Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) and Jamaat-e-Islami were being remotely pulled to take on his party. “Their strings are connected somewhere else, they get their orders from them and they dance to their tunes,” Abdullah told reporters in the Pampore Assembly constituency in the Pulwama district.
