National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has said that the recent civilian killings were a conspiracy to defame Kashmiris and they were not involved in the recent killings.
He also termed these incidents an attempt to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the union territory.
“It is unfortunate that civilians are being killed. To our understanding all this is done under a conspiracy to tarnish our image as Kashmiris. We (Kashmiris) are not involved in it,” he said, while talking to the media in Srinagar.
Two non-locals were shot dead by militants in Srinagar and Pulwama districts of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.
Asked about the NSA level talks between India and Pakistan, Farooq Abdullah said any initiative that leads to friendship is welcome.
“We should pray and hope that there is friendship between the two countries and we can live (in peace),” he added.
