Home Minister Amit Shah To Meet Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha On Targeted Killings In Kashmir

New Delhi: A day after Union Home Minister Amit Shahโ€™s Meeting With NSA Ajit Doval, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has been called to Delhi, for a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday.

After Bank Manager from Rajasthan was shot dead, a brick kiln worker from Bihar scummed the terrorists.

This is the 8th such case in the last three weeks.

โ€œThe government has made us hostages. We are not being allowed to leave our homes. We are all scared. There is a security failure in Kashmir. We implore the LG (Lieutenant Governor) to let us leave for Jammu,โ€ said a member of the Kashmiri Pandit community in an SOS(Save our Ship) video posted online.

Farooq Abdullahโ€™s National Conference also condemned the attack, saying that the โ€œspate of killingsโ€ continues unabated and demonstrates the โ€œutter failureโ€ of the government to stem the violence, despite the heavy deployment of security forces.

โ€œWe express serious concern over a situation moving fast towards a crisis wherein no citizen can be considered safe,โ€ the party added

 โ€œSecond tweet today to condole the targeted killing of another non-local. Dilkhush, who was here from Bihar to earn a living, was shot & killed earlier this evening. While condemning this killing in the strongest possible terms, I send my condolences to his family,โ€. National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah tweeted.

Political parties in Jammu and Kashmir condemned the attack on migrant labourers, saying there was a โ€œtotal breakdown of law and orderโ€ in the Union Territory.

โ€œMayhem! Two more civilians shot at in Budgam. Total breakdown of Law & Order. Will the govt still parrot the narrative of normalcy, or has it internalised its own propaganda. Condolences with Dilkhushโ€™s family & praying for speedy recovery to the other. Has peace been โ€˜establishedโ€™?โ€ PDP said on Twitter.

Peoples Conference said the cycle of death must end.

โ€œUnequivocally condemn the targeted killing of a non-local worker of Dilkhush from Bihar who was working as a labourer at a brick kiln. We pray for his eternal peace & may Allah give strength to his family in this hour of grief! The cycle of death must end!โ€ the party said in a tweet.
