Grave mistake to always blame Pakistan for Kashmir unrest: Omar Abdullah

Date:

Baramullah (J&K): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday criticised the Centre for failing to take concrete measures to curb the unrest in Kashmir post the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani and said that it would be a “grave mistake” to always blame Pakistan and turning a blind eye to internal issues.

“Simply blaming Pakistan for the present situation, then, it would mean that we don’t have to do anything to prevent the unrest, which I think would be a grave mistake. We need to have talked internally, we need to solve this political crisis and until we are conscious of this reality, I don’t think we can take any concrete action,” Omar said.

Omar’s remarks came days after he reprimanded incumbent Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for the prolonged unrest in Kashmir and asked the latter to take responsibility for the same.

“Mehbooba Mufti blamed me for 2010 situation (unrest), I accept the blame. Will she accept the blame for 2016?” said Abdullah.

The present unrest has claimed more than 86 people, including two cops and several thousand others injured in the ongoing unrest in the Valley.

More than 5,000 security personnel have also been injured in the clashes.
