Farooq Abdullah: Imposing the ban will not improve the condition in the valley

New Delhi: “The noise is not so much about 25 CRPF jawans getting killed in Chhattisgarh, rather, the noise is about three army men killed in Kupwara. They are beating the drum to increase hatred towards Muslims, please keep this in mind,” says, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Dr Farooq Abdullah.

On Saturday Dr Farooq said that ‘beating drums’ on the death of three army personnel is aimed at spreading hate towards Muslims, reported TOI.

“Nowadays, new tricks are being played, be careful. This is not an attack on particular sect of people, but on all of us,” he stated.

He also spoke against the ban on social media in Kashmir and said, “I called on the government and told them don’t take such types of measures. They are mistaken that by imposing a ban, conditions will improve. The situations will not improve until and unless talks are held with all. They think they can suppress it with force. The more they try to suppress it, the more fire it will create.”

In an encounter with the militants Captain Ayush Yadav, Subedar Bhoop Singh Gujjar and Naik B Venkata Ramanna were martyred, in Panzgam village of Kupwara district on Thursday.
