National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday alleged that Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik and some people in his administration were trying to "sabotage assembly elections" in the state.
He was responding to the governor's statement asking mainstream parties to exercise restraint in their political discourse.
In a tweet, Abdullah said, "He (Governor) should be focused on improving the security environment to enable elections but one hears from responsible people that the Governor is so keen to remain in power that he & some in his administration are trying to sabotage assembly elections."
Without naming the two, the Governor said, "The political parties which are coming out in support of banned organizations are making their position clear and are siding with separatists."
