BJP legislators demand Omar’s resignation
December 13th, 2011 - 5:56 pm ICT by IANSJammu, Dec 13 (IANS) Bhartiya Janta Party legislators Tuesday demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his failure to prevent terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and also for raking up an “unnecessary controversy” over the revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act from the state.
“Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is a complete failure on all fronts. The terrorists have become emboldened by his call for the removal of AFSPA from the state, as was evident by the terrorist attack on Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ali Mohammad Sagar on Sunday evening,” said senior legislator and chief whip of the BJP Ashok Khajuria at a press conference here Tuesday.
At the press conference, the BJP leader counted the failures of the Omar Abdullah government and demanded that Omar step down and make way for an alternative government.
Khajuria said the National Conference-Congress alliance government has proven that it is incapable of dealing with terrorism effectively.
“It is unfortunate that Omar has encouraged terrorists by his campaign against the AFSPA, and equally unfortunate is the fact that other senior leaders of the National Conference, including Omar’s uncle Sheikh Mustafa Kamal, have openly started speaking against the army.”
