Srinagar, July 02: Accusing main opposition PDP of being involved in instigating stone-pelting, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today warned “perpetuators, instigators and facilitators” of violence that they would be sternly dealt with.
Terming this as one of the testing times of his Chief Ministership, 40-year-old Omar said he had his fingers crossed and was making every attempt administratively and politically to prevent any further loss of life.
“To the perpetuators, instigators and facilitators of violence and disorder and to those who are indulging in petty political machinations to disturb peace, my message is clear that my government and I will not only expose them but also deal with them sternly.
“We have credible reports that kins of senior PDP leaders were on the roads in parts of Kashmir instigating the mob,” Omar said while making an appeal for building a “Naya (new) Kashmir”, Omar said.
