Srinagar Feb 21 (KPS): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah hold press conference in Srinagar on Thursday.

He said that the continuous harassment of Kashmiris in India is forcing people to think if the “two nation theory” was right.

“Kashmiri boys and girls are not safe and harassed under a well planned conspiracy. The situation is so tense that the people are compelled to think if the two nation theory was a right decision,” Abdullah said during press conference.

He said that the hotels at some places have put up placards saying that Kashmiris are not allowed to stay whichis very unfortunate.

Abdullah asked as to why it was all being perpetrated and as why Kashmiris are being singled out to be targeted while government has maintained a ‘criminal silence’.

“Are Kashmiris being targeted for being from a region which is India’s only muslim majority state,” Abdullah asked.
He urged the governor Satya Pal Malik to make arrangements for students who were compelled to leave their studies and return home.

He said that ‘alienation among Kashmiris’ will go from bad to worst if proper policy is not formulated soon.(KPS)
