Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah emphasised on Friday that his government’s agenda would not be dictated by social media platforms, such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter.During his response to the Motion of Thanks for the lieutenant governor’s address in the Assembly, Abdullah said, “Thank god, I write a lot on Twitter but do not read anything…. I want to assure the people of Jammu and Kashmir that our agenda will be set by the people, not by social media users.”
In his address, the National Conference (MC) leader urged the elected representatives to remain unaffected by social media trends when formulating policies.
“Do not base your policies on the University of WhatsApp and Facebook. Very few people utilise these platforms and those who do forgot about you for five years until they suddenly remembered you now,” he said.
