Speaking to reporters, Sagar said “a war has been waged against the unarmed Kashmiris”.
“A 20-month-old infant is being targeted with pellets who is on the brink of losing eyesight. We too are humans and should be treated like ones. The killing of innocents in Kashmir is further alienating Kashmiris,” he said, asking the Government to stop such killings.
On the recent decision on the J&K Bank, the NC general secretary said the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was “under attack”.
“First, they attacked our financial autonomy through GST regime and now by turning J&K Bank into a PSU. The people of Kashmir would not tolerate any such attack on our autonomy,” Sagar said.
