Jammu, Nov 13 (KNO): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said that not every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir is associated with terrorists and unfortunately when we start looking everyone Kashmiri with suspension it becomes very difficult to keep people on the right path.
Speaking with reporters in Jammu, CM Omar, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that he gave his first reaction on the very first day. "No amount of condemnation of this incident is enough. The brutal killing of innocent people in this manner is unacceptable, no religion allows this. The investigation is going on and all culprits must be punished," he said.
He said that not every person in Jammu and Kashmir is a terrorist or associated with terrorists. "These are just a few people who have always tried to disrupt peace and brotherhood here," he said.
"Unfortunately, when we start looking at every person in Jammu and Kashmir and every Kashmiri Muslim with suspicion and start portraying every Kashmiri Muslim is a terrorist, it becomes very difficult to keep people on the right path".
He added that those responsible for this incident should be punished severely, but innocent people should be kept out of this.
He also said that many times educated people were found involved in these acts, but innocent people should be kept out of this—(KNO)
