Srinagar, Oct 18 (KNS): Expressing grief over the death of a Kashmir truck driver Zahid Rasool Bhat who was set ablaze by the communal goons in Udhampur, the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah Sunday held the J&K Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed responsible for the “murder”.
“If Mufti Muhammad Sayeed is having some conscience left, he should resign from his post,” Shah in a statement issued to press said.
In a statement to KNS, he said Mufti by joining hands with communal RSS and BJP made it clear that he is not concerned with the people of the state. “He (Mufti) doesn’t care whether the people of Jammu and Kashmir live or die but is only concerned of his chair.”
Shabir Ahmad Shah said the culprits of the dastardly act must be brought to book at earliest and made it clear that pro-India politicians and anti-Kashmir elements are two sides of the same coin.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelHe said Mufti Muhammad Sayeed surpassed the records of his predecessors in inflicting tyranny and brutality upon the people.
