Srinagar- Dr. Farooq Abdullah, President of the National Conference, has called for an independent probe into the recent surge in encounters in Jammu and Kashmir, he questioned the timing of the increase, saying, “I doubt why there wasn’t a spurt in gunfights before the government formation. There should be an independent probe to find out who is doing it.”
Referring to the ongoing Khanyar standoff, he emphasized that militants should be apprehended rather than killed, stating, “They should be arrested to find out whether there is any agency assigned the task to destabilise Omar Abdullah-led government.
Dr. Abdullah also pointed out that the J&K had seen an improvement in stability prior to the government’s formation, with terrorism at a low point and local businesses thriving. “Tourism is thriving, and people are doing their routine business. Terrorism was at its lowest ebb; that’s why I am demanding a probe,” he remarked.
Pertinently, after the government formation in J&K, there has been a spurt in attacks on non-local labourers and also on the security forces.
