NEW DELHI: Under fire for his handling of violent protests in the Kashmir valley, Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday received the "unstinted" backing of the Congress leadership even though he was advised to be alert to further trouble.
The chief minister met Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and home minister P Chidambaram on a busy day. He is understood to have briefed the leaders of the situation in the state while his meeting with the home minister would have touched on the nitty-gritty of maintaining peace.
