SRINAGAR, May 22: Working president of the Opposition National Conference, Omar Abdullah today hit out at PDP-BJP coalition Government in Jammu and Kashmir over the remarks of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on the strategy of eliminating militants in the State.
“Looks like (Chief Minister) Mufti (Mohammad) Sayeed (sic) is reviving & empowering the Ikhwanis (counter-insurgents). That’s the only way to carry out ‘terrorists killing terrorists’ policy of MOD,” Omar tweeted.
He was referring to the statement made by Parrikar in an interview with an English daily.
“Our proactive attitude is to identify terrorists and then effectively neutralise them. Every case is handled firmly with clear-cut intelligence for targeted kills.
“We ensure minimal collateral damage. You have to neutralise terrorist through terrorist only. Why my soldier has to do it all the time?” Parrikar had said.
