'Will Man Who Fired AK 47 Over Beating Me Become Minister' Asks Omar Abdullah

A lawmaker in Kashmir is seen firing an AK 47 rifle while celebrating his victory over outgoing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in a video widely circulated on social media. Mohammad Ashraf Mir is from the People's Democratic Party or PDP, which won the most number of seats in the election.
The video shows Mr Mir, surrounded by supporters, holding up the rifle and firing several shots in the air after his victory from the Sonawar assembly seat.
Mr Abdullah today dared the police to book the lawmaker. 'So will J&K police register a case against the gun toting MLA or will they be too scared in case he's a minister a few days from now?' he questioned on Twitter.
'The PDP chap let off an AK 47 to celebrate his victory over me. Thank goodness I didn't lose Beerwah!!! I wonder what they would have fired!' he commented in another tweet.
Mr Mir won by a margin of around 4,700 votes and is the first politician in Jammu and Kashmir to defeat an incumbent Chief Minister.
'Even if he holds an AK 47 for 5 minutes, it is illegal,' said Congress leader Rashid Alvi.Watch 'Will Man Who Fired AK 47 Over Beating Me Become Minister' Asks Omar Abdullah News Video With HD Quality.
