Terming the killing of Sajad Malik as an organized political Murder, Congress delegation led by G.A. Mir lashed out at Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for failing to protect the innocent people, She had been claiming to save innocent people from the bullets when out of power, but what happened after she took the reins of power is known to people of the entire state of J&K.
Mehbooba spoke a total different language and even condoled the killings of militants earlier, but today’s Mehbooba Ji is absolutely different one, who has compromised on the blood of innocent people for the sake of coming into the power, Mir added.
It was the prerogative of Chief Minister to order a judicial probe at an initial stage of the Killing, but this is unfortunate the she seems to be not concerned about the safety of people and warned the Govt of serious consequences, in case the killers of Sajad Ahmad Malik and Assadullah Kumar of Devsar are not identified for severe punishment.
