Omar Abdullah Criticizes J&K Administration's Tactics Against Local Population

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah criticized the J&K administration for allegedly arresting and harassing people after recent terror attacks in Jammu. He emphasized the importance of local support for ending militancy and accused the administration of repeating mistakes that alienate the local population, urging immediate cessation of these tactics.

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday condemned the Jammu and Kashmir administration for reportedly arresting and harassing residents in response to recent terror attacks in the Jammu region. Abdullah asserted that gaining the local population's support is crucial to ending militancy.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail,' Abdullah criticized the administration, accusing it of incompetence. 'This administration only knows how to arrest, detain, and harass people. They repeatedly make the same mistakes and still hope for a different outcome. To end militancy, you need the local population on your side, not alienated and angry,' Abdullah posted on X.

He responded to his party's post claiming that ordinary people were being harassed, detained, and arrested in Chenab Valley and Pir Panjal region following a series of terror attacks. 'JKNC has always stood for peace and against extremist forces, having lost thousands of its workers to terror and deeply understanding their pain. However, the reports from Chenab and Pir Panjal, where ordinary people are being harassed, detained, and arrested, are profoundly distressing. This must be halted immediately,' the party's post alleged.
