Omar nominates Mehbooba
Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan
SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday nominated his political opponent and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and Nobel Peace prize winner Kailash Satyarthi among nine people to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan'.
Omar, who was nominated by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to the campaign, launched by the Prime Minister earlier this month, had thanked the actor on microblogging site Twitter and asked him to watch the space for the names of the nine people he would nominate.
Apart from Mufti and Satyarthi, Omar nominated actress Deepika Padukone and politicians Milind Deora and Bayjant Jay Panda to the campaign.
"Now for my nominations to pick up the broom & get sweeping - Sara Pilot, @k_satyarthi, @deepikapadukone, @milinddeora, @PandaJay," Omar wrote on Twitter.com.
Omar also nominated television journalist Arnab Goswami to the campaign. "Arnab Goswami, @sidin, Mehbooba Mufti, @Raheelk. Please get cleaning & nominate another 9 people. :-)," he said.
The chief minister himself got into the cleaning act when he picked up a broom and joined the Srinagar Municipal Corporation team on their night cleaning operation in the flood-hit areas of the city here on Wednesday.
Omar received praise from the Prime Minister for the act, who said the chief minister's efforts would strengthen the mission.
