Srinagar: Chief Minister and her conscious needs to answer her government’s “continued supervision of bloodshed and oppression in Kashmir,” opposition National Conference working president Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday.
In a statement issued here, National Conference President and MP Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah also expressed profound grief and sorrow over the civilian killings in Kulgam in south Kashmir.
Extending his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, Farooq said, “It’s time for PDP-BJP government and especially the chief minister to introspect and acknowledge the damage caused by their anti-people policies and actions throughout the state.”
Party’s working president and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also expressed profound grief over civilian killings and expressed solidarity with the bereaved families.
Omar said it was for the Chief Minister and her conscious to answer for her government’s continued supervision of bloodshed and oppression in Kashmir.
Meanwhile Party General Secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar presided over a meeting of party leaders and legislators at Nawa e Subah and expressed dismay over the abject failure of the incumbent Chief Minister and head of the Unified Command in stopping the “mayhem” that has engulfed the whole state.
“It’s really unfortunate that civilians as young as 13 year olds are dying and that there was no accountability for such killings,” Sagar was quoted in the statement as having addressed the meeting called on unabated civilian killings in the Valley. He prayed to Almighty to give strength to the bereaved to bear the loss.
“Ever since PDP-BJP government assumed office, Jammu & Kashmir has suffered at every level. Whether it is Jammu, Srinagar or any other part of the state, mayhem and chaos continues to run amok. We all are witness to the deteriorating situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Deaths and maiming of the worst order have now become a routine,” he said.
