He said when there can be small districts like Kulgam, Shopian and Pulwama in Valley why can’t be Basholi and Billawar which have a huge area be the separate districts?
Without naming any body he said the previous Congress representative who was a Minister has totally failed to grant the district status to Billawar when new districts were created during their rule but now the Party and its leaders were misleading the people over this issue. “If they were so concerned then why did not they grant the district status to Billawar during last 12 years of their rule instead of misleading the people now”, he added.
Turning tables on Congress, Dr Nirmal Singh held it responsible for present mess in Kashmir saying the only State which was dealt by the then Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1947 became a problem while all the 550 princely states who were dealt by Sardar Patel merged with India without any hesitation.
Dr Nirmal Singh however said that Narendra Modi led Government has given a befitting reply to Pakistan shelling and even conducted surgical strikes to teach the enemy a lesson.

Omar, DySP Ayub Pandit, SHO Dar and others with the result people of Valley have developed hatred against the terrorists and terrorism.
