SRINAGAR, Apr 8:
Posting a picture allegedly of 2010 violence showing demonstrators beating a security force jawan with lathis in Kashmir and later trying to connect it with yesterday’s demonstration in South Kashmir by working president of the main opposition National Conference (NC) Omar Abdullah evoked sharp reaction.
Abdullah in a tweet had said “Protesters assault police, burn their vehicle & militants are given a “gun salute”. CM talks about office cleanliness!!!”.
Pictures alongwith the tweet show a security force jawan being hit with lathis by some youths, thousands of people attending funeral of slain militants and a police vehicle in flames.
However, Mr Abdullah’s tweet got sharp reaction alleging it was a picture of 2010 when he was Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. More than 120 persons, mostly youths were killed in security force and police firing in the Valley and hundreds were also injured.
“that’s Fake Image From 2010, 6 Years Old Pic. Let’s Stop Spreading Lies. #NITSrinagar”, said a tweet while another said “Irony Is That This Pic Was Posted On 28th June 2010, When You Were Chief Minister Of J&K. Self Goal? #NITSrinagar #TirangaInNITsrinagar “.
“Sir, I am running your fake account & have written clearly in my bio.Better you also write it in your bio. Fake Pic tweeting” and another wrote “Sir, Your fake concern about J&K is clearly visible. Pls write in your Bio ‘Fake Pic Uploder’
Sir using Image from 2010 shame on you to spread lies here is the original check the date. “tries a joke on him self! Uploads violent pics from his tenure and blames it on the current Govt,” said another tweet.
A police vehicle was set ablaze by the demonstrators in Shopian, after two Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) top commanders were killed in an encounter with security forces early yesterday. (UNI)
