SRINAGAR, June 13: Former Chief Minister and National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Thursday accused the J&K administration of being "incompetent" as they "only know how to arrest, detain & harass people."
Omar was responding to a post by his party National Conference, which claimed that ordinary people were being harassed and detained in Chenab Valley and Pir Panjal region in the wake of a series of attacks in the Jammu region in the past few days.
"JKNC has always stood for peace and against extremist forces, having lost thousands of its workers to terror and deeply understanding their pain. However, the reports from Chenab and Pir Panjal, where ordinary people are being harassed, detained, and arrested, are profoundly distressing. This must be halted immediately," the NC posted on X.
Omar commented on the party post and said the government would need the local population on its side if it wanted to end militancy.
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". This incompetent J&K administration only knows how to arrest, detain & harass people. They repeatedly make the same mistakes & still hope for a different outcome. To end militancy you need the local population on your side, not alienated & angry," Omar posted on X. |
