Chief Minister Omar Abdullah should be prepared to face public wrath throughout India if he did not stop making controversial statements like the separatists over Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP said here today.

"We warn the Chief Minister not to compete with the secessionists in making disputed statement about the status of Jammu and Kashmir or he should be ready to face the wrath of public throughout India," BJP state spokesman Ramesh Arora told reporters here.

The ruling National Conference and Omar are competing not only with the PDP but with the separatists also to become champion of Kashmir-centric approach," he alleged.

Omar had described the yesterday's attack on Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq as a "reaction to their politics and policies", Arora said, adding that the CM had further made it clear that separatist leaders are bound to invite public wrath for speaking against India.

"So, Omar will face wrath from the people of India if he did not take his controversial statement over the accession of J&K with India back," he said.

The BJP has called for 'Jammu Bandh—Chakka Jam' tomorrow for three hours to mark protest against discriminatory policies of the state government, anti-national utterances by the chief minister and its endorsement by Congress-led UPA.

"The recent stand on rehabilitation of surrendered militants is not acceptable to public. Hence, the BJP has decided to express its resentment on Saturday by observing Jammu Chakka Jaam," he said.
