Omar Abdullah flays attack on Tanzanian student in Bengaluru

Srinagar, Feb 4: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said that incidents like the Bangalore mob action against a Tanzanian woman cause irreparable damage to relations with African countries.

"None of our fancy government summits in Delhi will undo the damage done to relations with countries in Africa by incidents like #Bangalore," he wrote on Twitter.

The National Conference working president was reacting to the incident in Bengaluru where a Tanzanian woman student was allegedly beaten up and stripped by a mob in a case of "mistaken identity" after a woman was mowed down by a car here.

The 21-year-old Tanzanian, who is doing her Bachelor of Business Management course, was dragged out of the car in which she was seated along with her three friends.
