SRINAGAR: Former chief minister Omar Abdullah today said the spurt in militant attacks in the State was a result of “provocative statements” by Union Ministers in the wake of the PoK surgical strikes.
“We are bearing the brunt of statements made after the surgical strikes. If our rulers would have kept quiet after the strikes, and if they would have spoken with their work rather than their mouth, perhaps the conditions would not have been such,” he told reporters in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
The National Conference working president said the statements by Union Ministers that Pakistan would not even dare to look towards India after the strikes and that demonetisation had ended terror, were proving to be wrong now.
“When Defence Minister says that if Pakistan looks at us, we will gouge their eyes out and hand them those, obviously, there would be a reaction somewhere,” he said.
Omar said the ministers should focus on their job and leave the talking to the Opposition. (AGENCIES)
