Srinagar, Sept, 14(KNS): The Government here on Wednesday said that curfew was only a response to “UN Chalo” call and there was nothing for the government to be glad or satisfied with the curfew or restrictions on the eve of Eid-ul-Adha the biggest festival of Islam.
Talking to KNS over phone the Education Minister and Government Spokesman Nayeem Akhter said “Government had inputs about some vested interests planning big troubles in some important places and uploading the pics of the slaughtering of sacrificial animals only to further the cause of provocation in Jammu region. These were the reasons for imposing curfew and restrictions and withdrawing broadband internet facility”. Saying that since the Almighty on Eid-Ul-Adha calls for “ Arfat Chalo, Mina Chalo”, So the separatists should have avoided“UN Chalo” call.
