Jammu, Jan 3:
In reaction to Mehboob recent visits to militant families in Pulwama and Shopian, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah said, “During her tenure as the chief minister she used militants by sanctioning their deaths to appease the BJP”. Taking to social networking site Twitter Omar wrote: “The architect of “Operation All-out” & the overseer of the operations that killed hundreds of militants since 2015 is now going from one militant home to the next trying to rehabilitate a badly damaged reputation.” “She used militants by sanctioning their deaths to appease the BJP and now she uses dead militants to try to appease the voter. Just how gullible does she think people are?” Omar tweeted. Earlier today, Mehbooba visited the family of slain army man turned militant Idrees Ahmad Mir’s house in volatile Safnagri village in south Kashmir’s Shopian district. While talking to slain Idrees’s family Mehbooba said that families of militants should not be harassed. “In my tenure I had directed forces not to harass brothers or sisters of militants. I hope that governor gives such directions to forces too,” she said.
