BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Thursday "took back" his comments regarding the National Conference and People's Democratic Party coming together at Pakistan's behest after former J&K CM Omar Abdullah asked him to apologise or prove the allegations he made.

"PDP and NC boycotted local body polls last month because they had instructions from across the border. Probably they had fresh instructions from across the border to come together and form government. What they did prompted the governor to look into the whole issue," Madhav had earlier said.
