SRINAGAR: Asserting that top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) Burhan Wani, who was killed in an encounter in south Kashmir today, was not the first to pick up the gun and he won’t be the last, former chief minister Omar Abdullah said that National Conference (NC) has always maintained that a political problem needs political solution.
“Alas Burhan isn’t the 1st to pick up the gun & won’t be the last. @JKNC_ has always maintained that a political problem needs pol. Solution,” Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of main opposition NC, wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
Meanwhile, Mr Abdullah claimed that no militancy related incident was attributed to Burhan during his tenure as chief minister. “For all Burhan’s social media activity I don’t recall any militancy incident attributed to him while I was in office. Not sure after that,” he added.
He also said that the killing of the top HM commander means some tense days in parts of the valley. “If this is confirmed its big news & will also mean some tense days in parts of the valley,” he said. (AGENCIES)
