Mehbooba tears separatists apart, patriotic BJP leaders silent 'Did children go to army camps to buy toffees, 15-year-old attacked police station' 8/25/2016 11:02:07 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 25: While the so-called patriotic BJP leaders of JK preferred to toe separatist line to remain in power, Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti today tore the separatists apart and taught BJP leaders how to give a befitting reply to the anti-national elements. Acting like a tough administrator, Mehbooba spoke plainly and bluntly about prevailing situation in the Valley and made important statement. She exposed vicious campaign launched by the some forces against security forces and admitted in the presence of Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh that those killed in Kashmir during these 45 days of "hadn't gone to buy milk and get toffees from Army or security forces' bunkers". Mehbooba was visibly irritated when a reporter asked her about her stand during 2010 agitation and quoted her interviews in which she had questioned the then government led by Omar Abdullah for using force against children and arrest of Hurriyat leaders. The reporter while posing a query about her stand during the ongoing unrest in the Valley also made an observation that she and Omar had only changed places it seems. Mehbooba replied, "This is wrong analysis. In 2010, there was a fake encounter in Machil where three civilians were killed. After that there was rape and murder allegations in Shopian..." When other reporters wanted to chip in with supplementary questions and clarification, she shouted back "let me complete first and continued "this time an encounter took place in which three militants were killed, how is government responsible for that. "People came on streets, we imposed curfew. Did the children go to army camps to buy toffees (candy)? Was the 15-year-old boy, who attacked the police station at Damhal Hanjipora (in south Kashmir), going there to get milk. Don't compare both the things. People had genuine anger that time (2010)," she said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
