NC chief demands probe into twin terror attacks in J-K, asks Pakistan to stop terrorism
National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday urged the Centre to order a probe into the twin terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir a day earlier and also asked Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism in the region. The former chief minister said if a probe is not ordered into the two gruesome incidents, his party would «invite an international committee» to conduct an investigation to find out the culprits behind such attacks.
Terrorists struck at two places in Kashmir on Saturday night, killing Aijaz Sheikh, a former sarpanch affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in Shopian and injuring a tourist couple from Rajasthan in Anantnag.
«I have been repeatedly saying that those sitting in Delhi are misleading the people by saying Article 370 was responsible for terrorism. How many years have passed since the abrogation of the Article? Has terrorism stopped?» Abdullah told reporters on the sidelines of an election rally in the Mendhar area of Poonch district.
Referring to the killing of Sheikh, he said an innocent former sarpanch of BJP lost his life in the attack.
