“Making statements with regard to peace in J&K won’t change the reality. The policemen, Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims are being killed, but the government is still reluctant to accept the fact and are claiming high and tall that the peace has been achieved,” he said, in Udhampur after offering condolences to National Panthers Party (NPP) chief, Bhim Shingh, who passed away today.
“Everyone wants safety and security. There is a need to find means and ways to curb the killings in Jammu and Kashmir. The government should call an All Party meeting, talk to the leaders to bring a solution to the prevailing situation. The situation can’t be dealt with by forces and police,” he said, adding that there is a need to win the hearts so that the people will come out from the present nuisance.
“If tomorrow the political leaders are killed, where is security for them,” he asked.
About the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra, Dr Abdullah said that if any untoward incident takes places on the pilgrims, the whole country will have to bear the consequences, thus the government needs to stay very alert in this regard—(KNO)
