SRINAGAR, MAR 18: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Monday criticising army.
While addressing the rally in Budgam, Omar said that Mehbooba’s crocodile tears will not work this time as the state has witnessed her atrocities when she was at the helm of affairs.
In 2017, Major Leetul Gogoi tied up a person, to an army jeep and paraded him around ten villages and used him as a shield against the stone pelters in Kashmir. The National Conference leader lashed out at Mehbooba for the way she is reacting to the incident now after a year has passed.
Omar lashed out that PDP president by saying that she is the one who stopped the 10 lakh compensation from the Human Rights Commission.
After a young man named Farooq Ahmad Dar was tied to a jeep by an army Major, the issue was taken up by Human Rights Violation and later Commission announced to give him 10 lakh compensation to Farooq.
Meanwhile, the Centre government and the then state government headed by Mehbooba Mufti did not allow the Commission for compensation.
Omar accused Mufti of faking tears in order to gain political mileage. He also mentioned that PDP chief’s reality was exposed in 2015, indicating her party forming an alliance with the BJP to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Jammu and Kashmir are witnessing several political triumphs before the state will go for Lok Sabha elections next month. On Sunday, former IAS officer Shah Faesal launched a new political party to join the fray in the upcoming polls. (PTK)
