Omar Abdullah Faults Centre for J&K Security Lapses After Delhi and Srinagar Blasts

He says policing rests with the Lieutenant Governor’s administration post-2019, demanding accountability for recurring failures.

Overview

  • Omar Abdullah said the 2019 changes did not end violence in Jammu and Kashmir and urged that those in charge of security be held to account.
  • He warned that Kashmiris are being broadly treated with suspicion after the Red Fort car explosion, discouraging families from sending children outside the Union territory.
  • Investigations into the Delhi blast continue under the Delhi Police Special Cell with support from the NIA and Crime Branch, with Pulwama doctor Umar Un Nabi named as a prime suspect.
  • Abdullah visited families of victims of the accidental Nowgam police station blast, which killed nine and injured more than 30, with explosives linked to seizures in Faridabad.
