Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah’s current assertion that the execution of Afzal Guru, convicted within the 2001 Parliament assault, didn’t serve any objective has drawn a pointy response from the Bharatiya Janata Social gathering (BJP).
“What does Omar Abdullah need to remedy? If anti-national parts who hatched a conspiracy towards India are given the dying penalty, why do they object to this? They need to create a scenario by taking help from terrorists. They’re taking help from terrorists. That’s the reason he’s talking such language,” BJP’s Kavinder Gupta, the previous Deputy chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, stated.
Earlier, concerning the execution of Afzal Guru, Mr Abdullah clarified that the Jammu and Kashmir authorities had no involvement within the course of. He said that if state approval had been required, it could not have been granted.
“The unlucky factor was that the Jammu and Kashmir authorities had nothing to do with Afzal Guru’s execution. In any other case, you’ll have needed to do it with the permission of the state authorities, which I can inform you in no unsure phrases wouldn’t have been forthcoming. We would not have achieved it. I do not consider that any objective was served by executing him,” Mr Abdullah stated on Friday.
His remarks got here forward of the meeting polls in Jammu and Kashmir, scheduled to be held in three phases on September 18, 25 and October 1.
