Srinagar, Jul 22: Reacting to Governor Satya Pal Malik’s comment asking militants to kill the corrupt people who have looted Kashmir instead of the innocent persons, former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah said he should find out about his own reputation in Delhi these days before sanctioning ‘unlawful killings and kangaroo courts’.
Mr Abdullah said after today any mainstream politician or serving/retired bureaucrat killed in J&K has been murdered on the express orders of Mr Malik.
This man (Governor), Mr Abdullah said ostensibly a responsible man occupying a constitutional position, tells militants to kill politicians perceived to be corrupt.
“This man, ostensibly a responsible man occupying a constitutional position, tells militants to kill politicians perceived to be corrupt. Perhaps the man should find out about his own reputation in Delhi these days before sanctioning unlawful killings & kangaroo courts,” Mr Abdullah, who is the Vice President of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
“Save this tweet – after today any mainstream politician or serving/retired bureaucrat killed in J&K has been murdered on the express orders of the Governor of J&K Satyapal Malik,” he twitted.
“Why are you (militants) killing innocents including SPOs and PSOs? What will you gain by this? If you have to kill why don’t you kill the corrupt who have looted the country and Kashmir for so long,” Mr Malik had said on Sunday after inaugurating the Kargil Ladakh tourism festival 2019 at Khree Sultan Choo stadium in Kargil.
